Enslaved By Depravity - Sympathy

This shard of glass reflects only poorly

The terror that I have become

Its razor edge elicits longing

Beckons of release from pain

The memories are a plague to me

My regret destroys respite

Ghostly figures accuse me of my sin

And no release can there be

Offering confidence

Offering certainty

Offering complete total sleep

No choice remains

Driven unto murder

Consumed with a burning rage

That makes me stronger

It gives me purpose

A captive bound to serve and die

I am the beast that does its bidding

I am the monster I abhor

I sanctioned death.

Yet I’m the instrument

Fulfilling the will of others

Offering confidence

Offering certainty

Offering complete total sleep

Now in my cell I pray for death

Now that my mind is awake

Now in my pain a deep remorse

For what I’ve done

Bathe now my wounds my love

Rest my head on your hate

I taste your blood on your lips

The crimson of my regret

Now in my cell I pray for death

Now that my mind is awake

Now in my pain a deep remorse

This shard of glass finds my flesh

No more confidence

No more certainty

Only exhilarating freedom
