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 a pedestal, 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 cruelest 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 honor 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 cruelest 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
