Shadow Gallery - Venom Lyrics

It was a cold night
But by the dawn's light
The city streets began to swell and crawl
I emerge then from the alley

The tempest spirit now in my sight
Well, I have seen you
You walk the wire
Oh yes, I know you very well

You've got place in the Hampton's
Jet off to London
The threads are Italian
How very expensive

But oh, you wear them well
As you serpentine

I am the bringer of the rain
And the foreteller of the pain
The end of days is near at hand
When God returns your just reward
Gets paid in venom

I will be with the others
When the day breaks
As the earth shakes
I will be with the numbers
When the earth breaks open for you

Oh, you kill me
Well, it's quite amusing
I am drawn to your strength
Yeah, you really believe

All the churning and discerning
Anger, hatred and resentment
Bet you've gone catatonic
Yea,h right on over the edge

And the greed of hell
Burns like gasoline

No ransom for your petty soul
I wipe your ashes from your gold
The end of days is near at hand
When all that was becomes a vapor
Slain by venom

I wrap a curse around your throat
God's wrath reserved through time for you
How dare you proselytize me
I run the show, you fool

Damnation, hell hath no fury
Completely blind, I ride the golden rail
Vengeance, from where?
Vengeance, I wait
And so you ask and shall receive

Vengeance upon all evil men
Your time has come
All will repent

All the riches all the gold
Why so bitter mortal man?
Gain the world, lose your soul
I am lion, you are lamb

Stallions from the sky
Hellfire rain and demons fly
From those of us sent here
To kill your false religion now

All the riches, all the gold
Into the wasteland of my life
All the riches all the gold
I lie in waiting here

Day turn endless night
Burned alive and scream
The end of days you're all alone
When Jesus mighty from His throne
Drowns you in venom
