As you accept destiny with it's tragedy and farce
The irredeemable evil which plays its part
Has kept me in its mercy for just so long
Once you're the one being kept and built
Loved, snitched, betrayed and killed
What else could you possibly die for?
Life curses the bravery of wanting too much
Watching blind faith turning into pure yearn
I think I've lost a few parts of my soul
In a world they deceive you with the truth
And gut you as sacrifice for the greater good
What else could you possibly die for?
In the thunderous echo of memory
I know you'll remember me
From flesh to flesh, ash to ash
Face to face, eye for an eye
My heart bears the weight of nine lives
Almost loved, almost chosen
Almost risen, but never dead
As you see too many suns setting on you
The rapture of nothing else left to do
Has witnessed me with calm affection
Fate always repeating the same ghostly dance
And the way how it takes you by the hand
To bring demise, then resurrection
I've lost too much time and too many lives
Searching for lovers in torturers
I don't know who to blame anymore
Endless negotiations, trials and tribulations
Until I no longer recognize myself
Though I can't be someone else
