Текст песни Carcass - The Scorpion

My life is everything
That feeds my thirsts that causes sin
My wants are all I care
No shame and guilt
There's nothing there
Look deep into my veins
I sell deceit without a trace
Fear not what I can do
Unless you want it done to you

Oh oh

As I climb onto your back
I will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear
And not mean anything
Then I treat you like a dog
As I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know
That I am a scorpion, oh

My self I'm centered in
There's nothing else
There's never been
And I dream
To be left alone
With the sadness, the madness
Of my own
Look deep into my soul
It's black, as coal
Like a bullet hole
Fear not
Get off your knees
There's no defense
You'll do what I please oh-oh!

As I climb onto your back
I will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear
And not mean anything
I will treat you like a dog
As I shoot my venom in
'Cause you knew all along
I am the scorpion, ya!

My lies to reach the shore
I aggrandize and nothing more
My hopes to steal away
All that you love, I'll soon betray
Look deep into my past
The pain I deal is unsurpassed
I'm not a lowly scorpion
I'm so much worse
I'm the fall of man
