Dear god protect us
Come on blackest heart
She stares forever
And then some never again
Polished barb wire
Smile tricks and treats
She's done
So cut her again
Gut her again
Silence tells us we're damned
Jesus we've gone and done it again
Jimmy's got a new gun in his hand
You're being a liar
I'm stealing the show
You're being a liar
I'm ready to go
How could you doubt
We would ever find out
The emperor is dead
Goodbye to god
Dead so long embrace defeat
You know we both agreed to it
Stick the diamond to it
Gust of wind to the face
Never returning favors
Take the prison to the man
I could promise the world
If we could travel through time
Don't back out on me now
Relax and remember
The promise of the sign
I wish you could see yourself now
You look at me like a child
The way you glide across the room
Instrument of seduction
Let go of it, Rapunzel
Let it down
Wait for the signal
Then bring it down
With a smile, now
Become the conductor
The way you slide across the room
How wonderful the connection
Did the last kiss still taste
As good as the first
Or is this just the opening scene
Of a new play
I look at you like a child
But not at all like you looked at me
But grace is already dead
Now is the time to come
And face the master
You should never say yes
When you really mean no
Come on blackest heart
She stares forever
And then some never again
Polished barb wire
Smile tricks and treats
She's done
So cut her again
Gut her again
Silence tells us we're damned
Jesus we've gone and done it again
Jimmy's got a new gun in his hand
You're being a liar
I'm stealing the show
You're being a liar
I'm ready to go
How could you doubt
We would ever find out
The emperor is dead
Goodbye to god
Dead so long embrace defeat
You know we both agreed to it
Stick the diamond to it
Gust of wind to the face
Never returning favors
Take the prison to the man
I could promise the world
If we could travel through time
Don't back out on me now
Relax and remember
The promise of the sign
I wish you could see yourself now
You look at me like a child
The way you glide across the room
Instrument of seduction
Let go of it, Rapunzel
Let it down
Wait for the signal
Then bring it down
With a smile, now
Become the conductor
The way you slide across the room
How wonderful the connection
Did the last kiss still taste
As good as the first
Or is this just the opening scene
Of a new play
I look at you like a child
But not at all like you looked at me
But grace is already dead
Now is the time to come
And face the master
You should never say yes
When you really mean no

Dear god protect us come on blackest heart
she stares forever and then some never again
polished barbed wire smile tricks and treats
she's done so cut her again gut her again
silence tells us we're damned
jesus we've gone and done it again
jimmy's got a new gun in his hand
you're being a liar x4
how could you doubt we would ever find out
you’re being a liar, I’m stealing the show
you’re being a liar, I’m ready to go
the emperor is dead, the emperor is dead
goodbye to god
dead, so long, embrace, defeat,
you know we both agreed to it
stick the diamond to it gust of wind to the face
never returning favors, take the prison to the man
I could promise the world if we could travel through time
don't back out on me now relax and remember the promise of the sign
I wish you could see yourself now
you look at me like a child
the way you glide across the room instrument of seduction
let go of it rapunzel let it down
wait for the signal then bring it down with a smile
now become the conductor
the way you slide across the room
how wonderful the connection
did the last kiss still taste as good as the first
or is this just the opening scene of a new play
I look at you like a child
but not at all like you looked at me…
but grace is already dead, now is the time to come and face the master
you should never say yes when you really mean no
Basically, it's about some guy (let's call him Frank) who had consensual sex with a girl (let's call her Thelma). It just so turns out that Thelma had herpes, therefore "taking the prison to" Frank, as herpes is an untreatable disease - a prison you can't escape.
So he blames her for acting like an "instrument of seduction" and making him want to flood her gates in the first place.
So it's one of two things:
1) The girl had herpes.
OR
2) They both had a baby that they didn't want, the care of which is often considered a veritable "prison."

i agree with the pianoislandarsonist though even hough the naming thing was funny.

Im probably wrong, its an awsome/Brutal song though. Love it when he screams "YOUR BEING A LIAR"... ^^
