The Knife of Jealousy

Freezing whiskey burns my throat until it bleeds.
Another stranger walks to cater to your needs.
Through the glass you cast that reckless teasing gaze,
Waiting for my rage to set the room ablaze.
(Opa! Take the hit!)
In my clenched fist lies the receipt of our past,
You chose the circus mask built never to last!
(Hey! Look at me!)

Припев
The knife of jealousy went down to the hilt!
(Straight into the chest!)
You make my soul burn in fire and in guilt!
(Opa! Strike!)
I tear my shirt, my wounded pride turned to stone,
Let this dark nightclub drown completely on its own!
The knife of jealousy is twisted to the bone,
You sold out our love for a cheap and hollow throne!
(I'm alive! Opa!)


The waiter sweeps the shattered glass across the floor.
Whatever lived for you won't breathe in me no more.
Don't you dare come close when lights begin to fade —
There is no pardon for the treason you display!
(Hey! No turning back!)
Your little trophy man looks down into his drink,
Poison in our glasses right upon the brink!
(Opa! Bottoms up!)

Припев
The knife of jealousy went down to the hilt!
(Straight into the chest!)
You make my soul burn in fire and in guilt!
(Opa! Strike!)
I tear my shirt, my wounded pride turned to stone,
Let this dark nightclub drown completely on its own!
The knife of jealousy is twisted to the bone,
You sold out our love for a cheap and hollow throne!
(I'm alive! Opa!)

Pounding doumbek tears my temples apart!
(Strike! Hit hard!)
Where was your truth? Where was your heart?
(Hey! Opa!)
You wanted blood? Look me right in the eye!
Tonight we shatter your kingdom of lies!



Припев
The knife of jealousy went down to the hilt!
(Cut it all down!)
No one on earth will ever see me on my knees!
(Opa! Stand tall!)
I ripped the steel out, slammed it on the floor,
Your empty guilt can’t reach me anymore!
The knife of jealousy has snapped right in two,
I kept my freedom and I'm walking out on you!
(Gone forever! Opa-a-a!)
