Metal Church - The Perfect Crime Lyrics






In the mind's eye we commit the perfect crime
We are drawing nearer, we're only one step away
When we visualize the destruction from inside
We tear ourselves apart and we are to blame

Too far and never near the ending will appear
To pose another question of what we hold dear
Our sanity reveals what is false and what is real
The grays that seem to haunt this unforgiving hell
We think we've fooled all of mankind
We have created the perfect crime

The answers intertwined, we often cross the line
We make our own reality and think life is fine
Life through a clouded lens, our judgment cloaked in sin
We fall from the highest point just to get up again

We think we've fooled all of mankind
We have created the perfect crime
The perfect crime

  1. A.... ....

    Very Queensryche-esque

  2. A.... ....

    The Queensryche is strong in this one.

  3. D.... A....

    This is a kick ass album!

  4. F.... G....

    Very underrated album..check it out..Ronny Monroe's voice is so powerful..Kirk Vanderhoof is definitely Mr Riff..Never stops writing great songs

  5. M.... S....

    We need a dark metal Church album this is good though.

  6. v.... d....

    In this song, is it me or Munroe's voice sounds like bruce dickinson ??

  7. k.... k....

    Badass intro

  8. M.... M....

    my favorite "newer" metal church song.. i love it....

  9. S.... L....

    Luv this tune. Definitely a power metal pick. Keep up the good work.

  10. B.... ....

    That *_HIGH_* note that Munroe hits at the very end of this song gives me FUCKING GOOSE-BUMPS... _FUCK!_

  11. E.... ....

    La ptmdre *-* es genial este grupo.

  12. T.... ....

    Metal church is life!!!

  13. M.... ....

    I think they were influenced very much by iron maiden

    M.... ....

    No disrespect, but man...Maiden and MC don't sound *_anything_* alike. Well, everything besides the ability of both Munroe and Dickinson to hit some seriously high notes... Both of them are _extremely_ talented vocalists along with David Wayne (R.I.P.) and Mike Howe.

    M.... ....

    BluntForceTrauma666 yeah but Monroe does sound a lot like Bruce, he is good !!

  14. l.... ....

    I like this one...I Monroe did great with all the Metal Church cds he sang in. Some of the songs are heavier than others, but all worth the owning. He did some great vocal work on Kurdts Vanderhoof's other band Presto Ballet. It is not Metal Church, but some great prog rock. Check out "Invisible Places". & "Love what you've done to the Place."

  15. J.... R....

    RIP Metal Church you did some decent albums in your career you shall be remembered <3

  16. C.... W....

    I wished that mike howe would have came back to metal church before metal church was retired. That would have been awesome.
