darkmaterial - Ambition Lyrics

My name can kill
Don't you laugh
It's a certainty it will
My name can give you madness
Send you to obsession
And hate and pain and sadness
Oh, behold this crooked evil grin
You're staring back at the darkness that's within
Ambition
My name is made of knives
They'll hack and slash and stab, bury you in lies
And I have buried friends
And left behind the ones I've loved with no amends
Oh, yes, behold this crooked evil grin
You're staring back at the darkness that's within
Ambition
Lovely ambition
And I'll meet you where the madness shines
Where chaos gathers and where words run out of rhyme
And you'll meet me in the faded sight
In the distant memory of a beautiful light
And you'll meet me when you realize
Your maladroit avarice could not be sterilized
Oh, behold this crooked evil grin
You're staring back at the darkness that's within
Ambition
I am ambition
Oh, yes, and I am killing you
You love me, we both know it's true
And I can tear your hearts away
And you will follow me no matter what I say
I am ambition
There's no high, there's no low. Not a place now you wouldn't go
For ambition
And I am ambition
