The Count - The Classic Crime

Be good to me as you once were when you pulled me from the brink of death

My enemies were frenzied for a taste of my flesh

And now I’ve got the same feeling again

The beasts are closing in their teeth are dripping with rattlesnake poison

So I will run into Your open arms I’ve got nowhere else to go

I don’t want to live like this anymore

Trading truth for the simple things

I don’t want to live like this anymore

Will You give me the will to sing out

When I’m filled with the darkest of doubt

When I’m down for the count

Protect me from mutiny

From those who miscarried your baby

From those who miscarried the truth

So they could selfishly do whatever they thought was pleasing

Protect me from insincerity

From between their teeth it’s practically oozing

Their eyes are hollow and blind they’re always wasting my time

And it’s time that I’m losing
