Dominion

You couldn't run from what you became
From one who would vent his revenge
Through the time you were young
To look up to the put downs he gave instead

In all your darkest questions
You could never find the answers

This chance with death overcasting the way
Tempted to try the peace you could give

You would wear your torment on the inside
You'd hide it so well
Until you released it again
I thought i could help you

And you would weep to me
Reveal this withered spirit
Pour out your soul
Let me share your misery

And sometimes I saw myself in you
Recognised the colourless feelings
We shared relief in knowing we were not alone

I couldn't convince you to believe
The hope had already gone
You'd suffered alienation for far too long

You'd resigned to the description
When you took your own life
Your past would never leave
You had already died

The night you chose the ending
I can see those sbtle warnings
Pass like it was meant to be
But I am just as quilty

Bet you don't miss it here

Mistaken identity, fooled us all
And didn't you know
Took betrayal in your stride
Used to biding time

Manipulated her - now on you she must rely
Yet she chose to look away
Lood away - from too many lies

And whwn you come face to face
You will become what you created

From these souls that you sold
Life's avenger will reap the rewards
Through a justice unseen

And what you gave will return
Through these ruins fate will follow

In submisssion - no escape
You will abide to the work of your own hands
Reformed destiny

Taken this life, not to lay it to rest
When you've taken this life
Then you'll move onto the next

Willing victim to fall to this appeal
When you play a part
Carefully chosen in line to survive

As you live out your promises
Forged promises

Where does your conscience reside
When you have carved
This same future in other lives
Realisation falls silently over
But you know they have come
Too far, too far to look back

Your hour is gaining quickly
Not too soon for those who wait
To see now death becomes you
How death becones you

And when you've taken this life
Your time will come around

A portrait which carries the story
Which is always the same
Compare this cross to the next man
To be someone else instead

Weighted with this burden
You believe you're alone
Everyone has something
Life will leave you to learn

Where you see a perfection
Belies a different restraint
Another source of disillusions
Got you fooled in envy

What do you see
What do you think you see
Do you know what you're wishing
Do you know

Hard to find contentment
You can't see
Past your own self hatred
While your...

Time wasters
You don't notice
If you let this beat you

Everyone is equal
If you look a little closer

And wnen you learn to see
That nothing is that serious
You will grasp something to live for
These feeting moments
Will end

To then see this gift
And underline the truth
What we take for life
How we misunderstood

Commercial crucifixion
Why bow to those in charge
No questions follow aimlessly
Time to give away your mind

Collide with accepted opinion
You're making it hard
For yourself - in this so called choice
And are we permitted to have imagination
Recognise this dormant attitude

Don't listen to those who destroy
This instintive direction
Who is anyone to lay judgement and
Judge you if you don't follow on passively

You're fucking with destiny
Down to your own inferior declne

We can't beat them but won't join them
We won't rise up to their ideals
Lies, destructive lies
We criticise you in the public eyes

Down but not out
They criticise us in the public eye

Lies, destructive lies
We criticise you in the public eye

Dare to differ and do you fear
Being the outcat
Afraid of what they might say
Turn your back
And let prejudice criticise you
Who's the real loser

In the aura of time, ripped out of the blazing skies
Genesis of a new strain, the mother feeds her child

Silence broken, the birth of mankind, but the shadows conceal fears unspoken
Like tears from the stars

And the questions went unanswered among all it's people
Creation of a false belief he had to give his reasons
Like whispers in the ocean the words went unheard
Like tears from the stars the warnings went ignored

Like tears from the stars the mother feeds her child
Our search in life for our destiny, behold the grains that slowly drift away
Unforeseen fate will pale reality, in fears eclipse we'll hear the world
While it weeps

Turn around and walk away, kiss the rose and let it die
But how many times have I fallen over waiting for my soul to feel the light

And the cup was taken from the hands of greed and misery
Evolution in time will bring forth the new breed

Unknown to me the sun deceives, storms from the east, crimson now is the sea
Black shapes unknown that resemble human form
In the rains they came to free us from this mortal coil

Shall we see in the fullness of time if the prophecies can shine through
The silhouettes against the sun

The promises of a brave new world slipped straight through our weary eyes
Behind the blue sky horizon remains only truth

The beginning is the end, we are twisted never to be reborn
Just as a soft breeze carries dead leaves, the rains shall never cease

Descent in line from innocence
From blood this love defiles me
Unchosen - yet it holds our restraint
Through this child you will live again

I breathe life through you
I breathe life through
What you believe - through me

Dependant in my helpless state
You work on my emotional fate
Take out this part of me
Which turns me into you

Imprint your words in mentality
Pass on your own self righteous faith
Explain reason in your own wisdom
Your failures will live again

Imprisoned under fate's own hereditory leader
Can i overcome what this dependance fractured
Or will you stay here?

Fight through this bloodline of distorted pictures
Subtract from the mind this broken experience
Not to live again
