Elephant - A Wizard's Destiny lyrics
rate meWhy is pain so compelling to me? <br />
Through the night I've crawled, hateful and ashamed<br />
Drowning powerless in the despair of my worst memories<br />
Confronted with and tortured by my own secrets<br />
I cannot choose not to believe, I need to know<br />
Stay close to me as this story comes to pass<br />
A momentary glimpse of the ones behind the net<br />
And the twinkling eye of the maker of the wands<br />
<br />
Running down a slope of recollections<br />
The descending mist of a gaunt and silent spectre<br />
The coiling of nerves and the tightened hush<br />
The bowstring tension of anticipation<br />
<br />
I have become the abyss that reflected me<br />
Sympathy or apathy if the dead could speak<br />
Holes in the heavens like the gaps in myself<br />
Crying as fantasies breed frustration<br />
<br />
The sunrise has not come, drained of all hope<br />
Absence, nothing, a child in the dark<br />
Hearing the screams of my dying parents<br />
Witnessing the killing, touching the cadavers<br />
<br />
A flash of sickness and the rush of speeding death<br />
The shrill high laughter of a merciless voice<br />
A murderer crushed by protective love<br />
Seven mutilations of a single soul<br />
<br />
The pure lust for inflicting hurt<br />
A pitiless gaze atop a lipless mouth<br />
Images of my friends weaken and fade<br />
Each doubt reopening miseries long suppressed<br />
<br />
As every promise abandons me<br />
Excruciating loss is transmuted into iron resolve<br />
I am the spark before the blaze<br />
Beyond all restraint in an instant of fury<br />
<br />
Beads of light vibrate to the timbre of joining wills<br />
The brothers meet and the cores sing in recognition<br />
The synchronicity of two minds equal in strength<br />
Now it is I who calls you by name<br />
<br />
Father and mother are gone and I can never be whole again<br />
Every fibre bore the pressure contorting every wound<br />
I will not die crouching, hiding, kneeling in supplication<br />
Straight-backed and proud I am the stone of your defeat<br />
<br />
For all the times I feared to speak<br />
For all the days I dreaded the dawn<br />
For all the years I fought alone<br />
I shall give you the obliteration of the curse that disappears you like the words you have spoken!!! <br />
<br />
As a dream of distress fades upon awakening<br />
Agony is reconciled over the creeping of time<br />
Healing tears of vindication and wisdom<br />
The graceful retribution of maturity<br />
<br />
The boy who lived is now the man with the lightning scar<br />
The one who survived as the other diminished<br />
Beast being and spirit shall endure to testify<br />
He was a master of spells.
