"You won't affect me,
I'm in control"

The words that stoked the embers

Long ago-
laziness, my wife
fucked it all over
and ambition, my father
abandoned his son
the dogma rewrote itself
before my brother, conviction
was convicted of capriciousness
-my family was lost

Death is a powerful thing
it's transcendence, one could say
and when the future dies
the present is lost in disarray
to think so lightly of the end
is foolish, arrogant, in fact

If a bastard wishes to die,
does he curse the world or the ones that fed him to it?
there is a lot of hate going around
hate that can't be absolved simply by love
this bastard is hell spawn

It takes will to overcome fear
not courage or bravery
vanity words for a vain republic
getting plastered on screens worldwide
yeah that's it... overcoming fear
Becoming it

What more can money buy?
A new life? A new dream?
A reset button?
Unlikely

A simple barter on the divine sale
ideals don't come without risks
the higher the horse, the longer the fall
but that's not the case at all
the highest one here gets to buy FUCK IT ALL
the ultimate get out of jail free card

But I've already gotten way off track

Either way,
you won't affect me
I'm in control.
