Lyrics

    you built me up with your wishing hell
    I didn't have to sell you
    you threw your money in the pissing well
    you do just what they tell you
    REPENT, that's what I'm talking about
    i shed the skin to feed the fake
    REPENT, that's what I'm talking about
    whose mistake am i anyway?
    Cut the head off
    Grows back hard
    I am the hydra
    now you'll see your star
    prick your finger it is done
    the moon has now eclipsed the sun
    the angel has spread its wings
    the time has come for bitter things
    REPENT, that's what I'm talking about
    i shed the skin to feed the fake
    REPENT, that's what I'm talking about
    whose mistake am i anyway?
    Cut the head off
    Grows back hard
    I am the hydra
    now you'll see your star
    the time has come it is quite clear
    our antichrist
    is almost here...
    it is done
