I cannot accept this as true
Found my life’s purpose in conversations with you
Counterpoint to violent mind, to my excess, is laid to rest
Forgive me for what I’m about to do

I’ve searched and I’ve tried but there is no other way
For you, death was a door
For me, a secret passage into the hollow sanctuary of my adversaries
Open your eyes as I feign closing mine

Withering, yet alive
Mimic their saccharine savior and rise
All of my life has led me to this, I will not fail
Farewell, my love
So long, my sons

I was baptized into deception before this unholy immersion
How foolish must you be not to see that we only made it this far with
Fraud, deceit, bloodshed and treachery?
We are feared as the eye of the storm

Will your dead God hung from a tree descend, intervene?
Fight back as long as you please
You’ll never be rid of me
I’m in your teeth, in your skin, in your bones

I’m under the sea
With the stars
In the stones
March through the streets

Candles and cross held high
Crowds gather round
Thinking the storm passed by
To the altar I sail

Dagger pressed to my chest
It’s time
My sacrifice is satisfied
And the world will finally see my hardships transpired
Now, I rise

And taking them all by surprise
Draw my blade, unafraid
Don’t move
Make my last move
King takes Bishop

I take the crown hostage
Follow me down to the locked gates
To let the nightmare into your dreams
You thought you could hold back the tide

Of history and entropy
We will not meet again in heaven
The blood on my hands made sure of that
Though it grieves me to know that I’ll be alone
Beyond this world, my name will be known
