lyrics

The first time we spoke
He praised my works
We talked long of body sculpting
An apt pupil thought I'd found.

Ignorant of his purpose
I instructed well;
Should've sensed the awkward background,
The subtle knell.

His thirst for knowledge glowed,
An artful talent showed.
His cold hands learned all so well,
It's my shame that he prevails.

He sent a sample for review,
A twisted joke, I assumed.
"Faceless woman found last night,
Serial killer still at large".

Out of the wisdom of my heart
Lazarus hove me into darkness.
I must protect all that I love
Before it's too late.

He crawled inside my head,
Showed himself in dreams.
Saw his knife, a steady hand,
One resembling mine.

Packages came every few days,
Lazarus got an epithet:
"Surgical killer on the loose,
Face Thief attacked, leaving no clues".

Out of the wisdom of my heart
Lazarus hove me into darkness.
I must protect all that I love
Before it's too late.
