HUMAN VICE



He loved you once, he'll love you twice
Love hurts, and left him bleeding
He found false strength in human vice

Paid his dues, met your price
Wounded, hurt, and kneeling
He loved you once, he'll love you twice

Hope as dark as midnight's ice
Cases unheard, alone and pleading
He found false strength in human vice

Lady Fate laughs and rolls her dice
Rage unbridled, untamed--seething
He loved you once, he'll love you twice

Safely he kept from prying eyes,
His fingers anxiously kneading
He found false strength in human vice

Yet cut him deeper than any knife
Like some unspoken, broken, taken treaty
He loved you once, he'll love you twice
He found false strength in human vice
