The Queen's Dagger (July 31 1997 / Vermont)
Never
Leave me here to die,
it's what you do best.
Abandon me, and watch,
laughing from a distance,
as I draw my last breath.
I know that you hate me.
You're sick,
you demonic fool;
to think I'd die for you.
I don't surrender,
you should know that by now.
You'll never win,
no matter how many times I die.
You're sick,
you demonic fool;
to think I'd die for you.
You thought the fight was over,
it's not that easy.
I'll only come back stronger
and you'll be the one to fall.
You're sick,
you demonic fool;
to think I'd die for you.
Never.
So leave me to die,
you thought you had won.
-guitar solo-
No.
Watch with hatred on your face
as I defy you
with a smile on mine.
