THE MIND ON THE JOURNEY OF SELF
I AM NOT WHO YOU THINK I AM
I AM NOT WHO YOU SAY I AM
I AM NOT WHO YOU WISH ME TO BE
I AM ONLY WHAT THERE IS TO BE
FROM BLOODSHED TO WOUNDS BLED
THERE'S NO SAFE HAVEN IF I WERE TO LOSE MY HEAD
BATTLE-BORN OR BATTLE-BRED
SOLDIER OR CANNONFODDER
WHAT YOU MIGHT BE MATTERS NOT, WHEN FACING ME ALL SHALL BOW
I AM THE SWORD, I AM THE STEEL, AND I AM WITHOUT REMORSE
BROTHERS I KILL AND SONS I SLAY
MOTHERS I TAKE AND FATHERS I BREAK
THE PASSING OF TIME CANNOT DULL MY BLADE OR STOP MY REIGN
I KILL AND MAIM, PILLAGE AND PLUNDER
AS NATURE CALLS, SO AM I THE NATURE OF REALITY
I TAKE WHAT I WANT AND GIVE NOTHING BACK
I TAKE WHAT YOU LOVE AND KEEP WHAT YOU LACK
STRENGTH IS ALL THAT MATTERS, WITHOUT IT YOU WILL BE DEVOURED
HONOR HAS NO MEANING AND PRIDE IS FUTILE
AS YOU REACH THE END YOU REALIZE THE FOLLY OF YOUR WAYS
ONE CANNOT DEFEAT WHAT IS INFINITE
MAN CANNOT FIGHT THE WIND, OR RECALL THE WAVES OF SOCIETIES STORMS
IGNORANCE SHALL LEAD YOU INTO ERROR AND ERROR SHALL BIRTH YOU INTO LEARNING
WHAT WAS FREELY GIVEN, HAS NOW BEEN TAKEN AWAY
YOU CALL IT POLLUTION AND DEGRADATION, I CALL IT THE QUIET BEFORE THE STORM
IF INNOCENCES IS BLISS YOU'LL DIE FROM MY LAST KISS
SO BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR LAST BREATH I SHALL LEAVE YOU THIS GIFT
"WHAT YOU TAKE FOR GRANTED, YOU TAKE FROM ALL.
WHAT YOU SEE AS PRIVILEDGE, IN TIME WILL FALL.
WHAT IS AS CLEAR AS DAY YOU ARE BLIND TO SEE.
DISCRIMINATION IS BEYOND ME......BECAUSE
I AM EQUALITY.
