I felt a change in this world  Where everything was damned  A sign of rebirth  Paradise found as I desert myself   From the walks of yesterday  To see beyond the horizon  I look to them - those who left behind  Their shattered dreams of life  Hoping to be saved  By someone stronger than myself    Why can't they feel the pain of dying?  Why can't they see me dying?    I reached for them - but I was left to die  I was deserted at the gates of the beyond  Forever imprisoned in my self   Lost among the forgotten shadows  In sight of immortality    So much has lust and narcissitc endeavors  Corrputed the soul  So much I've learned from them - the damned     Why can't they see they're dying?  Why can't they see you're dying?     No rest until I cleanse the world of living fallacy  Rage guide this incorrigible soul  To those who would abandon me   I am the sick I am the end   I am the plague which visits thee  Indocile hate breeds potent rage  As the dead declare war on humanity     For too long I've lain here in waiting  Waiting until now to strike!    The children of your sin   Shall burn in their beds  Those damned to be raised   Under the guise of your curse  Cruelly stricken from your lineage  Your progeny expunged  No tears taste sweeter   Than those wept In Anguished Verse  Under the domination of a forced regime  The noble in virtue will whore themselves to me  This dreadful seduction portrayed  In such tenebrous display  Innocence torn and lost so shamefully     Solo - R. Kirk  Solo - R. Daugherty  Solo - R. Johnson    I reached for them - but I was left to die  I was deserted at the gates of the beyond  Forever imprisoned in my self   Lost among the forgotten shadows  In sight of immortality
