Paid In Full
Ecstasy and pleasure stampede up your vein
Closely followed by agony and pain
Darkness engulfs the fading light
And that glimmer of hope doesn't seem so bright
Remorselessly taking all in it's way
Growing stronger and stronger day by day
Submitting to the draw of unbridled sin
And the blanket closes round locking you in
The Reaper man laughs at your expense
As the foot soldiers of pain kick in your defence
And as you get hooked on the addictive vice
Eventually you'll pay the ultimate price
Hell on earth and you're trapped inside
There are no corners, there's nowhere to hide
It's too late now you'll never get out
And no one will ever hear when you shout
The time has come for payment in full
The foot soldiers have finally entered your skull
Now the reaper man comes to fulfil his goal
To end your life and steal your soul
