High Price Of Hate

[Verse 1]

You got the eyes of a vulture

As you gaze from your meaningless throne

And the pain that you've been selling

I'd rather die before I own

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I'll call you a doctor or find you a priest

'Cause no one can save you, and you won't get no peace

I've felt your displeasure, and girl, I used to relate

So don't hand me no anger - I'll be crushed by the weight, yeah

[Chorus]

That's the high price of hate

That's the high price of hate, little girl

Lord, what's the cost of my fate?

[Verse 2]

She'll lay you wide open

Like a surgical knife

I've watched it take over

What's left of your miserable life

[Pre-Chorus 2]

She'll live on deception, your pleasures long dead

Your soul is left bleeding from the lies that you spread

Don't pull on my collar, I won't rise to debate

Don't ask me for comfort - you're a lifetime too late

[Chorus]

That's the high price of hate, little girl

That's the high price of hate - hey!

Lord, what cost is my fate, baby? Whoa

[Bridge]

There's a storm overhead

Will it ever end, baby?

It's all inside of your head

Is it gonna end?

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

That's the high price, that's the high price of hate

Yeah, Lord, that's the high price of hate

Girl, I hope I ain't asking too late

[?]

That's the high price of hate, yeah yeah

That's the high price of hate - oh no, yeah

Yeah, who gonna, who gonna, who's gonna compensate?

[Outro]

(That's the high price of hate)

(And I guess it's the cost of my fate, baby...)

[Guitar/Organ/Bass Solo]

Lord, cut me like a surgical knife!

Little girl, guess it's the cost of my fate

I wanna know, I wanna know

Who's gonna, who's gonna, who's gonna compensate?

Oh, little girl! Hope I ain't askin' too late

Lord, Lord, Lord, oh Lord!
