The More Things Change

You said when that day came
Screams was all i'd hear
You said when that day would come
I'll know the sound of fear
And now you ask forgiveness
You ask for my respect
You beat upon me 'til i broke
Stripping, taking everything from me
Drain me of my power
Suck me of my strength
Strip me of my will to live
My soul you desecrate
And if it takes me dying
To make some history
Then unto you my suffering
Remember, forever, my misery
I was born to reign
Messiah of pain
Silencing the lies
Time for me to rise
Drain me of my power
Suck me of my strength
Strip me of my will to live
My soul you desecrate
Drain me of my power
Suck me of my strength
Strip me of my will to live
My soul you desecrate
And if it takes me dying
To make some history
Then unto you my suffering
