"Empress (Of Rancor)" lyrics - GRIP INC.

Driven to tears while being sucked dry
Beaten down, exploited, left in bits

No hint of self seeking
Cold hard facts overlooked
While the ritual of disgust begins

Premeditation
No trace
Rigid execution
Of plans severe

Trust overlooked
While draining in emotions
Avoiding with grace
Concerns unanswered

Slowly, methodically, breaking bonds of blood
Gown of tradition, splashed with crimson
Hidden deep in the belly of hate
Black widows bite dealt with precision
Trading her body in the pretense of love

Prevention of instinct
Survival never a second throught, submit
The will to survive, buried absolute
Avoiding with unanswered

Honesty betrayed
The struggle for breath begins
The web is spun as breath pulls tight
Never to let the children see the

Gown of tradition, splashed with crimson
Hidden deep in the belly of hate
Black widows bite, dealt with precision
Trading her body in the pretense of love
