Lyrics

     Need more and more
     Tainted misery
     Bleed, battle scars
     Chemical affinity
     
     Reign, legacy
     Innocence corrode
     Stain or rot away
     Catatonic overload
     
     Choke, asphyxia
     Snuff reality
     Scorch, kill the light
     Incinerate celebrity
     
     Reaper, butchery
     Karma amputee
     Bloodline, redefine
     Death contagious deity
     Oh yeah
     
     Hooked into this deceiver
     Need more and more
     Into the endless fever
     Need more and more
     
     New consequence machine
     You burn through all your gasoline
     Asylum overtime, never mind
     You've reached the end of the line
     
     Time, choke the clock
     Steal another day
     Die, faithfully
     Narcissistic fade away
     
     Twisted, jump the rail
     Shatter the crowd below
     Breaker, chase the ghost
     From latest high to all time low
     
     Hooked into this deceiver
     Need more and more
     Into the endless fever
     Need more and more
     
     New consequence machine
     You burn through all your gasoline
     Asylum overtime, never mind
     You've reached the end of the line
     
     Drop the hourglass of time
     Spilling sand, we will not find
     As we gather here today
     We bid farewell
     
     The slave becomes the master
     The slave becomes the master
     The slave becomes the master, yeah
     
     The slave becomes the master
     Need more and more
     Right now and ever after
     Need more and more
     
     New consequence machine
     You burn through all your gasoline
     
     Dead hourglass of time
     Sand, we will not ever find
     We gather here today, say goodbye
     'Cause you've reached the end of the line
     
     The end of the line
     The end of the line
     The end of the line
     You've reached the end of the line
