lyrics

remote oasis water hole
a predator begins to close on the drinking creatures
panic ensues; a life becomes food
fresh blood drips, patiently the vultures circle the sky... waiting
we all know the story
the world is filled with hungry creatures
deceptive but their appetites known
to familiar animals; trusted
where we're told no
that's where we all go
writhing in the ecstasy of forbidden pleasures
her guard falls; skin peels off
passion leads to love leads to murder... hunted
we all have heard the story as victims unaware
and I approach known
a familiar animal; trusted
well aren't we civilized
in our human disguise
but can it tame the savage heart?
and without luxury to survive
it becomes a bit scary;
do you kill or do you starve?
what is the word that throws the switch?
the trigger that finally leads to drastic measures
outwardly he seemed like such a nice guy...
vicious killers can often be the most charismatic; trusted
