  • Crawl through the flames that eat your flesh
    Drowned in the waters that know you best
    Step inside, I've been waiting here for you

    On your knees, for you shall crawl
    Flying so high, you'll never fall
    Step inside, we've been waiting here for you

    Bow down, you chose your maker
    He never gives, he's always a taker
    The electric burns that fuel the fire
    It's just your suicide messiah
    Oh yeah
    Oh yeah

    Bow down, you chose your maker
    He never gives he's always a taker
    Electric burns that fuel the fire
    It's just your suicide messiah

    Walk through the streets that know your name
    All that's pure is now insane
    Step inside, I've been waiting here for you

    Another trip, another lie
    Life's hand of doom, you're feeling fine
    Step inside, we've been waiting here for you

    Bow down, you chose your maker
    Never gives, he's always a taker
    The electric burns that fuel the fire
    It's just your suicide messiah
    Oh yeah
    Oh yeah

    Bow down, you chose your maker
    He never gives, he's always a taker
    Electric burns that fuel the fire
    It's just your suicide messiah

    Oh yeah
    Oh yeah

    Bow down, you chose your maker
    He never gives, he's always a taker
    Bow down, you chose your maker
    He never gives, he's always a taker
    Electric burns that fuel the fire Writer/s: Zachary P Wylde

  • Chris from Bradenton, FlI knew this song was about drugs, I could tell the first time I heard it. Acording to his interview in the February 2007 Guitar world, he himself has never used drugs, so i figured it was based around someone else
