Temple of Pain – Deonda Ltd

Say can you taste the rain
Can you taste the corrosion in my vein
I’ve gone through four decades of wear that I can no longer detain
I lie here sleepless and I think I’ll go insane

So come into my
Burning
Glowing
Searing
Temple of pain
Flaring
Stabbing
Tearing
Temple of pain

Can you taste the iron in my spleen
Can you taste the bitterness of codeine
Or the probe that pierces my mucous membrane
In time you’ll know the foulness of age
A natural decline that only death can assuage

Now come inside

So welcome to my
Chilling
Numbing
Dulling
Temple of pain
Grinding
Crushing
Blinding
Temple of pain

This is my crown of thorns
Pricking my face
This is my iron chain
Dragging me down
This is my barbed wire
Ripping my limbs
Locked in a triquetra
In my temple of pain

(Burn, glow and sear)
But I feel better now
Temple of pain
(Flare, stab and tear)
I feel better now
Temple of pain
(Chill, numb and dull)
I’m so much better now
Temple of pain
(Grind, crush and blind)
They say I’m better now
Temple of pain
