Lyrics The Prestige - A Static Lullaby

The Prestige

No ounce of God
As the alter bleeds
No form of priest at this gathering
No ounce of God as the alter bleeds
So nice to meet detective Ace McCree
I appreciate your tactful timing
Can’t say the same for your little girl
But here’s something you might not know
She’s pink inside just like my other toys
And the blue has been ripped from her ocean eyes
But Jamie, she no longer breathes
This is famine the flood
The locust that eclipse the sun
And as the sulfur and smoke surrounds me
(Three plagues from heaven unleashed)
And as the trumpet sings the ocean bleeds
The army of God sets upon me
I wear the mark of the beast
Jamie, speak
And Jamie, oh God please
Just take me, please just take me
She’s draped in red upon the cutting board
As I look through the butcher’s eyes
Please Jamie, tell me his life or mine
One bullet for love
One bullet for God
One bullet for the monster in all of us
One bullet for love
One bullet for God
One bullet for the monster in all of us
This is the fire, the blood
The hail that blocks out the sun
And as the sulfur and smoke surrounds me
(Three plagues from heaven unleashed)
As the trumpets sing these angels are freed
The army of God sets upon me
I wear the mark of the beast
Now you see why you’ve come
It was your hand that killed her mom
You were driven insane because your daughter had her mother’s eyes
I am you and you are I
Burn me alive
I’ve taken my daughter’s life
Now burn me alive
I’ve taken my daughter’s life
Now burn me alive
I’ve taken my daughter’s life
Now burn me alive
I’ve taken my daughter’s life
Buried alive
I’ve taken her mother’s life
She’s buried alive
I’ve taken her mother’s life
Burn me alive
Buried alive
This killing spree is no longer ecstasy
The burden of living is now what haunts me
I have exorcised my inner ghost
Another wounded lover lost control
Beyond the grave
She waits for me
