Can I cover your eyes with my hands, can I make you walk in my darkened lands? A pawn to move around in my game of chess, feeling down then come to me child and confess. Oh what I'd give to be able to see your shameless mirrored reflections of me. Soulless eyes that try to penetrate the shell I made to find out it's too late. I use you solely for the sake of me in egocentric vile fantasy. Self-indulgent I'm throwing you in the dirt, In my own dark dream I'm king of the absurd. Can I measure my intelligence on you, can I use you as my tool to pass on through the halls of dark oblivion they make? I'm the diamond that was made to never break! So you wormed your way into my line of thoughts, passing all the trenches I built to keep you out. You found the barrier that no one else could break, a synaptic fortress to show you what I'm all about. Hollowed out by speculation in everlasting vile equation. Self-indulgent I'm throwing you in the dirt, In my own dark dream I'm king of the absurd.

And I stand there like a king confronting you all, a hall of condemned. Almost like silent puppets on a string you dance by my hands into the shadows of death. Your pathetic life means nothing to me, random killings just for my exquisite pleasure. A violent game of destiny and I sit back and enjoy like judge and jury. Playing God! Walk into my world of pain, never walk out of here again. Playing God! Soon I shall reveal for thee the hatred buried deep in me. Bones and skulls monumentally piled to greet your arrival. Inhuman slavery and meaningless surgery to prevent your survival. And I stand here like a God watching my heard, my dejected flock. Plans how to tear you all apart, disposing of your kind. As if you were never here! Playing God! Walk into my world of pain, never walk out of here again. Playing God! Soon I shall reveal for thee the hatred buried deep in me. "Why can’t no one hear the screaming, lost in a future, of dreams of escape? You were obsessed with the urge to destroy, for maiming, mutilating, murder and rape!"

Waiting for you in a garden of hope where the fountain of dying light shines. Taking a stroll through a pleasure plane, soon my idea of joy redefines. Silence falls upon me, silence fills my mind, images awaken misery underlined. Watching for you in a garden of joy where the silent breaths of the roses are heard. Flying along in my pleasure plane, experiencing possession by a single word. Wipe my tears away, find me colours in my life today. In the blink of an eye see a whole life passing by. Give me reason to live, in spheres of betrayal we refuse to give. Found you now in the garden of truth where the treacherous choirs of damnation sing. Killing my soul in the pleasure plane, in castles of sand I shall be the king. Silence falls upon me, silence fills my mind, images awaken misery underlined. Wipe my tears away, find me colours in my life today. In the blink of an eye see a whole life passing by. Give me reason to live, in spheres of betrayal we refuse to give.

Future bright, now another dimension wrapped up in endless tension. In my blurry haze I see no tomorrow, I'll drag you in 'cause I'm crippled by sorrow. Downwards in a spiral I fall, sentenced by my own pathetic call. Weak and fragile although I am strong, pouring out a blind heart that went wrong. Sin upon sin, the creator of failure will sell you anything. Worshipped for my deeds, the creator of failure shall forever sing. The sweet life I wished for in despair dissipates in empty, lifeless air. Seeking perfection I cry awkwardly and re-enact the dream in fantasy. While my own deceit was called upon you tread on me, waking aggression. I'll sell you the fortune if I can of dying for leaving me, a lonely man. Sin upon sin, the creator of failure will sell you anything. Worshipped for my deeds, the creator of failure shall forever sing. Last night she abandoned me, this beautiful creature. She who chose to be forever by my side when she was dressed in white. Now I am here in misery! I burn the pictures of you and I and curse your name in outrageous cries. Hostile in order to keep up the show that I can imagine the whole world's my foe. The oceans of dreams our emotions created have now become deceit-agitated. You, the virulent mutant cancer, I shall remove to build myself a decent answer. Sin upon sin, the creator of failure will sell you anything. Worshipped for my deeds, the creator of failure shall forever sing.

Left behind, pushed aside, alone with my confusion. In sickness, in health, till death do us part. It was all an illusion! After dark, dressed in black, still my presence is unknown. Watching you with raging eyes, a side of me I've never shown. It feels like the end! The deceit of my trust, the betrayal of my heart. It feels like the end! My life in ruins and my world torn apart. It feels like the end! Just floating around in a timeless hole. Holding on to my sanity, searching my soul. It feels like the end! One wrong step, one wrong word, every stranger you meet is a fake. No one else deserves you like me, I strike like a slithering snake. It feels like the end! The deceit of my trust, the betrayal of my heart. It feels like the end! My life in ruins and my world torn apart. It feels like the end! Just floating around in a timeless hole. Holding on to my sanity, searching my soul. It feels like the end! I let my jealousy burn, maybe then you will learn. As my pace is getting faster and my rage is turning to laughter. I'm closing in on your back, I'm ready for the attack. I wish that time would re-wind, too late I’m only one step behind. Terror on your face, horror in your mind, your heart frozen dead in your chest. A mental note I'll send to you, saying "I will never rest". It feels like the end! The deceit of my trust, the betrayal of my heart. It feels like the end! My life in ruins and my world torn apart. It feels like the end! Just floating around in a timeless hole. Holding on to my sanity, searching my soul. It feels like the end!

Psychos, freaks, beggars and thieves, the circus comes to town. Ugly, sick and unclean, pretending that it is your own. Silently withering from disease, with arrogance I watch you struggle on your knees. So go back to the cardboard city to the gutter and to your self-pity. Your destroyed life and malfunctioning mind, I won't enrich a contaminated swine. I am never going to pity, you, begging in the streets. Living life in dream, mirage, disorder to fulfil your needs. Desperately holding on to a vanity, a distorted sanity. Hope has always been a drug for the lost but the shattered remnants of life kill your enigmatic search. As you wake up, the harsh truth contaminates you and destroys your vision of a better world. So go back to the cardboard city to the gutter and to your self-pity. Your destroyed life and malfunctioning mind, I won't enrich a contaminated swine. I am still to solve the riddle that shows itself all around, disclosure of the fragile human nature. Failure's to be found, stern and proud you bear your cross. Condemned to forever feeling lost! So go back to the cardboard city to the gutter and to your self-pity. Your destroyed life and malfunctioning mind, I won't enrich a contaminated swine.

Time has passed since my crusade began, the hours that fled my mind are gone. Still I recognize the feelings that I had, a selfish ignorant me undone. And as I fall from grace, trapped from time and space. Can't remember the days, the light on your pretty face. I threw away the time I had with you to show my foolish state of mind. I can't pretend that I was feeling anything, only darkness I would find. And as I fall from grace, trapped from time and space. Can't remember the days, the light on your pretty face. And I can feel no more, I can't see the flaws in my head. The old man in the street is me, I will never see my ignorance. My Ignorance! And as I fall from grace, trapped from time and space. Can't remember the days! And as I fall from grace, can't remember the days, the light on your pretty face.

It hurts so much inside like a lethal chill down my spine. The destruction of my pride strangled this heart of mine. I have to live with this tragedy, get used to everybody's stare. A wilted flower inside of me, I know you no longer care. I had a dream of breaking out from all the others, to me there was no other plan. Lost to myself now in a hole of self-destruction, help me like no one can. But what about me, what about my destiny? No one else but me could see this tragedy, I'm drowning inside with apathy. My fires have disappeared like the hope of a better day My future is sadly weird, the insanity has come to stay. I see you in the darkest night, talking through my maze of depression. I almost feel your light and I turn my back on you with no hesitation I had a dream of breaking out from all the others, to me there was no other plan. Lost to myself now in a hole of self-destruction, help me like no one can. But what about me, what about my destiny? No one else but me could see this tragedy, I'm drowning inside with apathy.
