Ambition

My name can kill Don't you laugh It's a certainty it will My name can give you madness Send you to obsession and hate and pain and sadness Oh, behold this crooked evil grin You're staring back at the darkness that's within Ambition My name is made of knives They'll hack and slash and stab, bury you in lies And I have buried friends And left behind the ones I've loved with no amends Oh, yes, behold this crooked evil grin You're staring back at the darkness that's within Ambition Lovely ambition And I'll meet you where the madness shines Where chaos gathers and where words run out of rhyme And you'll meet me in the faded sight In the distant memory of a beautiful light And you'll meet me when you realize Your maladroit avarice could not be sterilized Oh, behold this crooked evil grin You're staring back at the darkness that's within Ambition I am ambition Oh, yes, and I am killing you You love me, we both know it's true And I can tear your hearts away And you will follow me no matter what I say I am ambition There's no high, there's no low. Not a place now you wouldn't go For ambition And I am ambition
