The Arcanum Effect - Iliad lyrics

<b>Iliad</b> by <i>The Arcanum Effect</i><br />

I can never go back to the man I was before

Not even a man, more like a child

Ignorance brought bliss, bliss brought upon defeat

Defeat brought out the worst in me

Hatred beyond belief, consuming every inch of me

You better pray I don't get my hands on you

This is what I'm capable of, I will always haunt you

This is where you went wrong

This is when I became strong

This is when I grew up

The metamorphosis is complete and you're staring at the new me

No longer that boy, rather the fool I used to be

No one said this would be easy

Now I'm done with taking steps

I'm running towards the finish line

Everyone who stood in my way will learn about defeat

I will bring it to their doorsteps

I will force it down their throats

I will let them rot and wallow in it's shame

I will become notorious for my deeds

The devil knows my name

And I am on his list

I'm only a man

Yet hell will tremble at my feet

This is only the beginning

She had brought out the best in me

From depths of which I thought lost

At least it shows I still have a heart

I swore I'd never let these feelings see the light of day

But here I am once more ready to give it all, just to be loved

I've jumped the gun once again

But this time around I will stand on my own two feet

Ready for it all

So go ahead just try and bring me down

Just go ahead give it your best shot

You've always wanted to make your mark on the world

Well I'll make you infamous

Everyone will know your name

And curse the ground you walk on

This time I've got the upper hand

I hope you run as fast as your mouth

Cause I'm sick of every word

I've come to shut you up for good

I will bury you
