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?
