iâve severed every weakness
still surviving each dissection
now iâm sawing off my poisoned arm
to fight the next infection
iâve conquered bitter human hell
behold my transformation
now there will be no atonement
only my restitution
iâve walked alone for so long it seems like all iâve ever known or ever will
this is my fate, this is my strife
yet i remain forever chained to solitude and pain because of you
this is my bane, this is my life
iâve cut away my conscience
amputating my contrition
all mortality asunder as
my wounds bear your attrition
iâve extirpated all trust
sacrificing my convictions now
you must destroy something you love
to gain my exculpation
you seek to hold my favor
mere words are not enough
i demand a righteous sacrifice
how can i trust you now?
repentance etched in blood
i demand that you suffer as i do now
you had your way with everything i ever cared for
with no regard, you turned your back and broke all bonds
now time has passed, but my hate for you is still an open wound
and i will not forgive without something youâve sacrificed
