Stare into the darkness of the endless abyss
Watch the dark fires of redemption consume
Stare and stand alone in the pitch black
Know now my resolve above all you presume

I am not this flesh
I’m not what you see
Don’t ever you dare
To think you once knew me

Confined to this elaborate waste
I thought I’d always be this way
But to think your taste would wear me down is another day my friend
In another past life you’d know I’d care
These presuppositions would’ve had me a slave
But I learned my lessons and the ring is mine
And you needn’t worry now I will be just fine

When I look into the glass another reflects my gaze
The horror, the fear, the anger and hate –
The gateway to oblivion I reached too late

I am the shadow walking through the graves
Searching to no end for the life I crave
Through all this anguish and hate I brave
But I found there’s no one left to save
I am no man

And nor will I ever be, for I’m a lost nothing
And if I ever ask for she – well I never was a king
Oh when will this end? The time it takes is torture
If I ever had a friend they would be death’s enforcer
Chain me down and beat me down
For I’ve no soul to break.
Tear my gown and take my crown
And weigh me in the lake.
Let me float or let me sink
Regardless I’m on the brink
In my final moments
What do you think I think?

When I look into the glass another reflects my gaze
The horror, the fear, the anger and hate –
The gateway to oblivion I reached too late

I am the shadow walking through the graves
Searching to no end for the life I crave
Through all this anguish and hate I brave
But I found there’s no one left to save
I am no man

I will never be this flesh
For I’m not what you see
I will not conform
To how you all see me

Weigh me as a witch
Burn me on your stake
Put me in a ditch
And say it’s a mistake
As my memory haunts you down
As you finally drown
