Love Song (Metal Version)

I was alone My heart was cold It was a stone My soul was lonely Like a stone There was no moss And when I danced I danced alone But then I did not dance Because I was alone So I did not dance I shuffled through life invisible To all happy couples Who would mock me With their merry laughter Ha ha ha The only sound I heard In my lonely silent world Was the rusty hammer of my heart Nailing at the hatred in my soul But then you came... And my life was turned upside down You showed me the beauty Of the things that I had never seen Like the snowflake that melts on the eyelash of a startled deer Or the painting of a dog That wears a deerstalker and smokes a pipe That made you laugh so heartily That I previously thought was rubbish Or the duck that lands so clumsily on a frozen pond in winter But the intoxicating power of our love Transforms this simple act into an anthropomorphic drama Where Mr Duck's embarrassed and the other ducks are laughing 'Quack quack quack quack quack' And then you left And I have died a thousand deaths And I will die a thousand more I thought you were an angel You turned out to be a whore And everything is turned to dust And everything is infected with a plague When you had to sleep with Craig 'Oh, he's so sensitive' 'He's got a tattoo' Yeah, and carving your name with a compass in my forehead Was not enough for you? The snowflake on the eye of the dear Has turned to pus That oozes from an open wound The deer, now blinded, stumbles into a ravine The duck lies shredded in a pancake Soaking in the hoi sin of your lies The dog has moved from the pipe To 60 cigarettes a day And coughs away his life In the cold neon research lab Of your betrayal Of your betrayal
