The Sickness Within

The sickness that grows within
This twisted child of my mind
That which I mean to carry
Of which I’ll never let go
And so I force it upon you
Your order descends into chaos
Now you take part in this burden
It was never a matter of choice
Suffer the presence of filth’s incarnation
A life born of humiliation
Bound gagged and helpless you lay
You will always remember this day
I pull your strings my brother
And you will listen to me
Your sickness your darkness this blight
And when your life is over
Open your eyes and you’ll see
Your burden your torment is always me
The sickness that grows within
This cancerous abomination
That which I’m forced to carry
That which dictates my life
So I provide it with life-force
I’m the person that nurtures its hunger
Were it a matter of choice
I would call it my offspring no longer
I pull your strings my mother
And you will listen to me
Your sickness your darkness this blight
And when your life is over
Open your eyes and you’ll see
Your burden your torment was always me
I live to pass to another
Something that never should have been
The sickness spreads from within
I gave you life my child
And you will do as I please
Your sickness your darkness defines you
And when your life is over
Open your eyes and you’ll see
Your burden your torment was always me
