Forsaken

You used to control me

No more than a puppet on a string

You used to behold me

Writhing down on the ground

Destiny is a waste of hope

Pardon my compassion

A pathetic man in a pathetic world

Each night - another needle in my skin

So look into my eyes

I'm forsaken

Let my spirit receive the light

You used to exploit me

No more than a face in the crowd

You used to terrify me

For the sake of delusion

Come with me, don't leave me now

In liquid neon chaos

Thorns of joy ignite my veins

Each day - another needle in my skin

I'm blind - Let your sterile harvest

Be reduced to dust

No faith - Let your false messiah

Testify his lust

I'm blind - When your shallow wastelands

Are redeemed by the tide

No faith - Hear the crimson choir

"Let there be light!"

Collapsing, misleading, no shelter, I'm freezing

Raising my shadows, my ruins are hallowed

You used to control me...
