There comes a point in
Every girl's life where
She just wants to go fucking feral
Take a man between her hands and
Rip that motherfucker's limbs from him
And every time I let you fuck me
I think about how easy it would be
To take your life away from you
Which I'd never do, unless you force me to
You never tell me that I'm pretty
You just say you like my tits
And every time I cry you say
"Don't be a little bitch"
But I'm still stupid and in love
And I'd still let you fuck me 'til I'm cumming blood
But baby, one of these days I'm gonna crack
And cut you up with a rusty saw in my
Daddy's shed and bury the pieces out back
Lie on your grave and masturbate and think of
All the things we could have been
Cause baby
If you fuck me over I'll make sure
That you can't do it again
There comes a point in every man's life
Where he gets the need to destroy
Some sickness in his guts
That started growing
When he was just a little boy
And all the times you bruised my throat and
Pulled my hair until it broke and
Held me down and fucked me 'til I
Was on the brink of death
Cause when you fuck
You fuck until there's nothing left
You never tell me that I'm pretty
You just say you love my ass
And you go on and on about some
Girl that you fucked in the past
You're such a man, i bet that I could fuck
Her better than you can
But baby, one of these days I'm gonna crack
Cut you up with a rusty saw in my
Daddy's shed and bury the pieces out back
Lie on your grave and masturbate and think of
All the things we could have been
Cause baby
If you fuck me over I'll make sure
That you can't do it again
And I saw her downtown and asked her out
Went to her house and we fucked in her bed
She's sweeter than you'll ever be when I
Give her kisses between her legs
You don't deserve such pretty things when you
All you do is shoot to kill
She'll love me and I'll love
Her better than you could
I promise you I will
And baby, i told you one of these days
I swore I was gonna crack
That I'd take you from your crying mother
And I'd never give you back
She and I lie on your grave and masturbate
And think of all the things we'll do
Now that we've moved on
Now that you're gone
Now that we know we're better off without you

Under the influence of Isaiah’s drugs, Ethel begins to hallucinate. She confronts the darkness.

The song name is inspired from Alighieri’s Divine Comedy [specifically Dante’s Inferno] Ptolemea, named after Ptolemy, is a circle of Hell in which the traitorous reside. Maybe this is a reference to Ethel abandoning her family and faith – only to be met with a wrath far worse.


[Intro]
I followed you in
And I was with you there
I invited you in
Twice, I did
You love blood too much
But not like I do
Not like I do
Heard you, saw you, felt you, gave you
Need you, love you, love you, love you
Heard you, saw you, felt you, gave you
Need you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, saw you, love you, gave you
Love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, saw you, felt you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you

(You'd do wеll to say yes to me)

[Verse 1]
Suffer doеs the wolf, crawling to thee
Promising a big fire, any fire
Saying I'm the one, he's gonna take me
I'm on fire, I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Suffering is nigh, drawing to me
Calling me the one, I'm the white light
Beautiful, finite

[Verse 2]
Even the iron still fears the rot
Hiding from something I cannot stop
Walking on shadows, I can't lead him back, uh
Buckled on the floor when night comes along
Daddy's left and Mama won't come home

[Interlude]
You poor thing
Sweet, mourning lamb
There's nothing you can do
It's already been done

[Verse 3]
What fear a man like you brings upon (Show me your face)
A woman like me
Please don't look at me
I can see it in your eyes
He keeps looking at me
Tell me, what have you done?
Stop, stop, stop, make it stop, stop
Make it stop
Make it stop, I've had enough
Stop, stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop, stop
[Refrain]
I am the face of love's rage
I am the face of love's rage

[Outro]
Blessed be the Daughters of Cain, bound to suffering eternal through the sins of their fathers committed long before their conception
Blessed be their whore mothers, tired and angry waiting with bated breath in a ferry that will never move again
Blessed be the children, each and every one come to know their god through some senseless act of violence
Blessed be you, girl, promised to me by a man who can only feel hatred and contempt towards you
I am no good nor evil, simply I am, and I have come to take what is mine
I was there in the dark when you spilled your first blood
I am here now as you run from me still
Run then, child
You can't hide from me forever
