Dominance

Welcome friends, to my kingdom Leave your dreams outside the door Here where damnation reigns forevermore A wound forever open Enter if you might Be dragged kicking and screaming into eternal night Once I knew contentment The gods began to resent With heavy bows and arrows they shot me from cloud nine Serenity abandoned me Left eyes that could not see What is left for me--broken ruined life So come see what I do--and know that I'm a fool My heartbeat and screams--the ruin that I rule Minutes turn to hours turn to days--turn to years I am just a fragment of what man has gone and deeded to himself I pray that it isn't everlasting I try--oh I try to believe Slipping through exhausted fingers--my sanity betrays me Component of the shattered landscape That stretches to infinity Time moves on and on--ridiculing me

Daylight--maddening fantasy--last night never came Blissful embers burn away Coffin's sides are closing in--strained from the lack of air Nightmares leave me with nothing Like you--the mirror turned away--it can't stand the sight of me I smash--smash it to the floor Pieces reflect the shards of light--open my eyes Epiphany of what I must do I want to forgive but can't find a way Lick clean the knife and spit away part of me Broken--beaten--no understanding at all The boiling results in the fatally placed final straw I want to forget but the memory stays Draining my being til an empty shell remains Kill me--kill me--bleed me to quench your thirst Now what would thrill me--for the torment to be reversed Daylight fades as evening comes--the night's fingers grip You're close--close enough to touch Watching the source of my suffering standing alone Silent--in darkness I follow you home

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

A dreadful place--a dreadful man All set to leave his little room A world that looks the other way with blinders high But they will know so much so soon Apotheosis of reform was lost so long ago A fuse that burned anticipating when it'd be let go The skeptics will be taught what some have always known In a wash of rage and blood we'll see how evil's grown Destroyer then--so much more now You can catch but you can't hold him A heart that bled--the bastard's wrist was slapped The faith in faith has turned so grim The notion of remorse flat lined without a fight Replaced by ideology burned in darkest night The skeptics bow their heads as throats release a groan The carnage on the walls spells out what now has grown It’s not alone Aberrant beast we locked inside Is walking out a full-fledged monster All innocence has coughed and bled and died Release paves way for a disaster The novelty of change has washed away but not the blame Responsibility seeks a home but goes unclaimed The skeptics lock their doors to try to save their own So painful--it is clear to see what we have grown Now reap what ye have sown
