A Beast Is Born Lyrics

The Carnival of Reality
is chewing on this fragile veil of Sanity
I've spun around what's left of my world
Days freeze into nights
and nights melt into days again
as the demons at my bolted door
are forging their own key
They scream my name
I think I understand now

My pointless life is taking a turn
I laugh and scream
my inhibitions crumble as they burn
the asylum of imagination's
walls moan and sigh,
as it dies

My mind is a wasteland
my world a frozen grave
I slit the choking throat (*) of my past
I am one with the universe
a black eternal wave
I am what was and will be and the last
I am the last
I am what was and will be and the last
Take my hand
Satan I break you, Jesus I forsake you
I am the Lord of Corruption
I am the Voice of Destruction
Unholy crown I rape you
Crown of Thorns I break you
I am the Lord of Corruption
I am the Voice of Destruction
Join me now
Take my hand as I let you go
Join me now
Let me possess the key to your soul
Drown in the knowledge of my world
as your new consciousness unfolds
I'll brush the tears from your eyes
Embrace your former self's demise
Demise, Demon
Take my Hand
Join me now

Satan I break you, Jesus I forsake you
I am the Lord of Corruption
I am the Voice of Destruction
