waiting for you to die

in another world i would slay you

i would martyr and mortify

in another world i would murder

i'd confess and i'd do my time

in another world i would sing you

a crimson lullaby

but all i am doing is waiting

i'm waiting for you

waiting for you to die

i've put you on an podestal it's true

now i want to kick it from under you

your neck in a noose

my heart in a whirl

so let the ebony flag unfurl

your cruellest nightmare is my dream

my dream come true

in another world i would slay you

i would martyr and mortify

in another world i would murder

i'd confess and i'd do my time

in another world i would sing you

a crimson lullaby

but all i am doing is waiting

i'm waiting for you

waiting for you to die

one push

you're drowning

in the boating lake

at last a drama that you did not fake

scream for a lifebuoy

but i'd throw a wreath

to honour what is dying beneath

in another world i would slay you

i would martyr and mortify

in another world i would murder

i'd confess and i'd do my time

in another world i would sing you

a crimson lullaby

but all i am doing is waiting

i'm waiting for you

waiting for you to die

your cruellest nightmare is my dream

my dream come true

in another world i would slay you

i would martyr and mortify

but all i am doing is waiting

i'm waiting for you

waiting for you to die

in another world i would slay you

i would martyr and mortify

in another world i would murder

i'd confess and i'd do my time

in another world i would sing you

a crimson lullaby

but all i am doing is waiting

i'm waiting for you

waiting for you

i'm waiting for you

waiting for you to die
