Seven Rings Left

Shadow of a soul you

Come to me and wait for my approval

To kneel here Sacred is the ground I tread

Leave no footprints

perfect in your eyes, you fool

Lay the lesser down

This blood so dark and red

Won't eat away the chains

That hold you where I wish

Where I wish

Watch my every move so calculated

Hunted by the prey but sly, indifferent

Swallow all your pride the poison's

Better that way

When this scent arises new

Lover of a lie

Immersed inside yourself

Dream your fractured mind away inside this cell

Oppression, anger, fear and pain

Restrain the fire to hold the flame

To burn, to sear, to penetrate

Allowed a voice to scream my name

Grasp in your greed for the riches

Give up the hopes for your pride

Drink down the wine like a glutton

Follow the lust in my eyes

For I am the master so envied

Free to be wasteful and sloth

Fear now the wrath of my power

Counting the sins to stay lost

And weak and alone and ashamed

Afraid, so afraid

Of mistakes and failures to be

Perfect, passive and unquestioning

You're awake now, but far too weak

So wait

Worry, hide in shadow

Do not speak, do not dissent, and lay down

Take it, celebrate this pain

Tear away the covers

Useless vestiges of comfort

Pointless tokens of a difference

To hide from me

Throw away the balance

Senseless running without conscience

Endless circle or a spiral

We'll always bleed

The same

So lay down

Lay down slave

Lay down, down

Lay down

Slave

Lay down, down

Lay down

Slave

Lay down, down

Lay down

Slave

Lay down
