Venice Burning

Sometimes life can be so damn cold
 When the verdicts in
 The streets were alive
 The night falling down around
 On the prowl again
 Catlike moves
 The pain betrays the smile
 Delicate and sad
 A rage of tears subsides
 Reality fades into the mask
 Then the hunger takes control
 Once the hunted in for the kill
 No one came, no one saw
 On the night that Venice Burned
 Tortured souls, they set the sky alight
 And don't ever say a word
 Familiar hands fanned the flames
 That would burn baptismal tears
 Where to go it's all come down
 Only silence
 Venice Burned
 Only silence
 Venice Burned
 In the shadows
 In the face of trust
 In a piercing blow
 Spills the soul of an innocent heart
 no one came, no one saw
 On the night that Venice Burned
 Embers glow and eyes soon fade
 And the circle starts again
 So set them up, knock them down
 As the smoke begins to rise
 Where to go, it's all come down
 Only silence
 Venice burned
 Only silence
 Venice burned
 Darkened room
 Late at night
 I slip in nice and quiet
 I feel the cold
 Dark secrets here unfold
 Where that cat digs it's claws
 At the alter of scars
 I taste the cold
 The shrine of a twisted soul
 Lost my will when I saw
 Vengeance on the wall
 No one came, no one saw
 On the night that Venice Burned
 Innocence reduced to filth
 That can never wasy away
 So stoke the flames
 Bare the flesh
 Let the branding leave it's mark
 The spark of youth
 Engulfed and smothered out
 Only ashes
 Venice Burned
 Only ashes
 Venice Burned
 I must I've got to hold
 I'm holding on
 Watching Venice Burning
 Watching Venice Burning
 Watching Venice Burning
 Watching Venice Burning
