Wide-eyed, grinning in the darkened room   Sipping cactus brandy from a china spoon   Coming in the morning in the afternoon, forgetting   So tired waiting for the end to come   Fully dead already but forever young   Hello, my dearest father   It's your favourite son   There's some things that I'm regretting      I am destroyer   I am lover   I am destroyer   I am lover   I love one thing destroy the other   I am destroyer   I am lover      A gypsy told my fortune then I told her hers   I said: "You'll die high in the moutains wrapped in silver furs   You'll be looking for your lover in the midnight sun   And you'll perish for your lover when the frost has begun"   I have a way of seeing and it's nearly gone   And nobody was listening so I wrote this song   And when you know the chorus you can sing along   You destroy the thing you love   Even though you know it's wrong      I am destroyer   I am lover   I am destroyer   I am lover   Why love one thing and not the other?   I am destroyer   I am lover   And when I kiss I like to smother   I am destroyer I am lover
