Dreamscapes Of The Perverse - The Rise Of Self lyrics

rate me

In this dark time of creation

Paint these hours in black

These moments only I know

And curse my soul forever

To scar me for what I have done

Beyond all comprehension

Of this paradox of creation

The cries of millions pass my ears.

Everything spirals downwards

As it has always done

It's so easy to live in darkness

When it's all you've ever known

Accepting a life void of hope

They swim in a river of death

Their pitiful souls know nothing

But a sick and desparate past

It all hurts so terribly

That I can barely stand

Who wants to see me like this?

Wanting to forget myself

And the choices I have made

The damned look for a savior

And search beyond their dreams

To take existance for granted - and immortality

Lost in the twisted delusions

And impossible beliefs

Of divine intervention

To save them from themselves

A speck of dust on the surface

A single grain of sand

Remnants of a sickening existance

Swept away by my hand

Compassion once a burden

Tonight I'll let it lie

Waiting to face the morning

Knowing I watched them die.

Solo - R. Kirk

Solo - R. Johnson

Innocence forever gone

Perversion reigns in this world

Decaying parasite of life

Destined forever to infest

Do not reach for me in faith

You'll be cut off at the hand

I'm not your merciful savior

I'm here to watch you die.
