I have looked inside the eye of the beast
That has the thirst for blood and drowns
I have kept the faith that I'd be invited to the feast
My inauguration, the giving of the crown.

A perversion of meaning.
Call of the tame.
Sidetracked... from the very beginning.

Walk tall
They say that passion is for animals
A deeper kind of hell
And the eyes that met in sadness
Will heal again.

They lie
They offer you their reasons
At a special price,
All for nothing
Safe for a fool's excuse.

The eyes in sadness will never heal,
What sort of elixir are your lies?
Nostrum of the d___ed - Vibrant with malice
Disrobement of the great - Trivial to all who see
Circle of dismay - Look outside and tell me, is it dark?

Withered in the sun
They withered in the sun
Until their bitter hearts said "no more"
Weary from a practice
Which left them torn
They withdrew them and withered some more

I have been hoping for a piece of the sun
And I have given my blood in vain
I have restored the faith that I am the one
To exist only through pain
