Everybody Knows My Name Songtext
von Harley Poe

I′m the one, I am ignored
When your teenagers are bored
Foolishness will hand their careless lives to me
They don't fear what they don′t know
Through their ignorance I glow
As they flicker from this dream I'll set them free

Through cancer and disease
I'll take with me whom I please
No need to run, you can fight and face defeat
Through religion and deceit
And science and conceit
Try to stop me, but in the end I can′t be beat

I′ll be at it once again
You'll all face me in the end
It should be fun, as I swat you down like flies
So when it′s time for you to go
Don't you cry, ′cause don't you know
It′s a point at once for every man to die


So what happens when you're dead?
Ain't my problem but I′ve read
You′ll burn in Hell, for all eternity
Life wasn't all that great
But please make no mistake
It gets much worse, after you′ve met me

I'm the reason your sick ones pray to God as they lie there still
I′m the reason they cry out, because I kill
The different sources I may use...

And everybody knows my name
Everybody knows my name
Everybody plays my game
And everybody knows my name

As I close my eyes to die
I will not fear, I will not cry
As I travel down this road
I gave my all, I took my load
As I lay my head to rest
Oh God, you know! I did my best!

Was it you, or I who turned?
Whose fault is it
That I must burn
Whose fault is it?
Whose fault is it?
That I must burn
