Skeptic Lyrics

I only want our fate, commit the rape
Do we get a little taste? That's unique
They love my taint, know what I made
Him—achievement on a Sunday
You where the gift, you where a gib
But there's a way, it's the god damned dead
Nothing and a curse, you made it work
The universe is so much smaller

Vengeance, bastards, different, why?
Why do the living decreed?
And our hero, martyr, missionary
God—he was the best of us

The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you
The world will never know another man as amazing as you

Never be the same, I want the blame
To be a sign of the guiltiest one
It can't be done, because the son
Was a victim of your best sin
I'm so fucking pissed at all of this
You gotta know that you are sorely missed
Eight becomes a wheel, they hope you heal
They make you feel like they broke it better

Father, brother, scapegoat, why?
Why did we only get this day?
Fighter, icon, chanting
God—stop taking the best of us

I won't let you disappear
I will keep your soul alive if I can't have you here
History may have its share
Of lunatics and stars
But the world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you
The world will never know another man as amazing as you
The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you
The world will never know another man as amazing as you

Skeptic

Where am I supposed to begin?
I'm killing for the karma again
Feed the meter in the machine
Where living is a way to be sane

God—are we alone?
God—we're not alone

I can't let you disappear
I will keep your soul alive if I can't have you here
We were meant to be the gates
Rule the masses, run the risk
And keep our systems clean
History may have it's share
For lunatics and stars
But the world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you
The world will never know another man as amazing as you
The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you
The world will never know another man as amazing as you

The world will never see (will never see)
Another crazy motherfucker like you (like you)
Like you (like you)
Like you

This song is definitely a tribute to Paul Gray.

Cover art for Skeptic lyrics by Slipknot

Cheesy hook and totally against Slipknot's usual lyrical style. Reminds me of The Nameless though with the quick, accurate call and response vocals between vocalists...though not as well done.

I understand it's a tribute song, but...not Slipknot at their best, not by far..
