Necessary Evil
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I dissolve to a dream of the past
Terminate to remove, falling fast
At the end of the chain thoughts collect
Execute a degree, I defect
What's it worth? Sacrifice the earth, it bleeds
Meet your needs, devilish deeds
Reconcile, understood, contemplate
Desecrate to denounce, detonate
Tentative to reject overdue
Final stage to complete follow through
Far too late absolute hell, this hell
An empty shell, desolate cells
A necessary evil, bargaining pleas
Held at ransom our souls diseased
A necessary evil the dominant role
There's no escape you crossed the solitary line
A necessary evil, bargaining pleas
Held at ransom our souls diseased
A necessary evil the dominant role
There's no escape you crossed the solitary line
Reconcile, understood, contemplate
Desecrate to denounce, detonate
Tentative to reject overdue
Final stage to complete follow through
What's it worth? Sacrifice the earth, it bleeds
Meet your needs, devilish deeds
A necessary evil, bargaining pleas
Held at ransom our souls diseased
A necessary evil the dominant role
There's no escape, you crossed the solitary line
A necessary evil, bargaining pleas
Held at ransom our souls diseased
A necessary evil, the dominant role
There's no escape, you crossed the solitary line
