Everybody loves the beautiful girl

The pretty pretty priestess with the white-moon face

(You're not fooling anyone with that painted-on smile)

Watch her disappear;

Isn't there something beautiful about the hollow shell of a person?

Isn't it just so wonderful

The way she walks her path with that sorrow in her eyes?

Life is a child's game

(The price is perfection)

And you followed the rules, so you've won the grand prize

A one-way ticket to immortality

(Written in gashes on your shoulder)

A commendation from the universe

(Sounded in laughter as you fall to the grass)

But don't you see

This is what you've been waiting for?

Struck down in the morning of her life, they'll say

Isn't it tragic? Isn't it beautiful?

Doesn't she make such a lovely corpse

With her white-moon skin and her empty eyes?

Isn't it just so exquisite?

(You can barely see the blood)

Because everybody loves the sacrifice

With her head held high and her heart held down

And they cheer as she ascends

Why fight them

When they've built a funeral pyre just for you?

Isn't it what you've always wanted?
