The Return Home

There was only ever fire when I awoke
Destruction, malevolence born of resentment
They burned the earth, their hate consumed their homes
No tears, no prayers could save them, all hope for peace was lost
How badly I wanted to believe there was an ounce of good to be found
In this pathetic waste of life
Disgusting pigs sinking in their own shit, multiplying by the day
I could end their misery, it’s the merciful way
Ignorance bred ignorance
Charisma led the way
Following ideals set millenniums away
I’ll be your deliverance
Join in my soiree
I will set a banquet fit for all the kings that you portray
Just a bite to poison the greedy filth
Gluttonous, gorging on your demise
You owe a debt, it’s all that grows
For every life you stole, the broken dreams
The hungry ghosts lost in eternity
Strangers to regret and guilt
Born with rot inside
With bated breath I anticipate the end
Of every wretched soul I see
So I may punish them eternally
I’ll ascend the throne once more
The one true ruler of the afterlife
I’ll ascend the throne once more
And then begin the sacrifice
I wasted my time
Thinking that hope could be here
That life would be kind
You devastated the earth
And spread like a cancer that feeds on joy
Duty calls me home
Reject these earthy woes
Transcend the grey in-between
Finally clean
I’ll dance with death
Wrists open
Slipping into lukewarm oblivion
Everything fades white
Something better awaits me on the other side
I leave your fucking miserable life
