Slipknot – De Sade Lyrics

Marquis de Sade, was a French nobleman, revolutionary politician, philosopher and writer famous for his literary depictions of a libertine sexuality. His works include novels, short stories, plays, dialogues, and political tracts. -wikipedia

He wanted to open free brothels due to the belief it would lower crime, however he was deemed mentally unfit and was imprisoned.

[Verse 1]
I feel it now, a new restraint
The fool is only he who fools again (again), again (again), again (again)
I needed all the pain you saved
To wash across my face like time began (began), began (began), began (began)

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody lies when they say “forever”
No one else will understand
Pull the stitches tight until we sever
Break me in your open hands

[Chorus]
Please, forget me not
I need your simple pleasures to be god
And please, my sweet De Sade
Just take my heart and twist me into knots

[Verse 2]
I know I never had a chance (chance), chance (chance)
Oh, I know I’m wretched and I stand (stand), stand (stand)
Seeking all the things you have
If I die with you, it’s worth the life, life, life, life (life)

[Pre-Chorus]
I was just a nothing wanting something
Only you will only do
Everything you want accounts to nothing
If it doesn’t come with you

[Chorus]
Please, forget me not
I need your simple pleasures to be god
And please, my sweet De Sade
Just eat my heart and twist me into knots

[Bridge]
Something dominating nothing
Nothing animated is something used
Fill me, wait a minute, kill me
Feel me, I am the mood abuse
Carve, carve, carve
I am starve, starve, starved
For the warmth of your will
And the edge of your purest thrill

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
De Sade, De Sade, De Sade, De Sade
