Luck as a Constant Songtext
von Periphery

Staring up at the ceiling
While I′m falling into the flames
Something's gnawing my shoulder and scarring
This moment into my memory frame

The fathers speak but might as well be castrated (castrated)
Oh, it feels so good from where I stand, oh
The one abstaining from all human needs and pleasantries
Is the one I never will be


Collecting through the sheets
A sense of power filling me
And I will never let go
I′m never letting go

Bending will of man and the hearts of the gods
Shut the fuck up and let us live a life we can call our own
Leave me alone

If you love the guilt, then let it die
A life kept so clean will measure the price of misery
If you love the guilt, then let it die
In silence, we will remain

If you love the guilt, then let it die
A life kept so clean will measure the price of misery
But manifest a taste of paradise
And surely you'll see the sin inside of me (oh)
