Time Immemorial

You're lying, through your teeth
 Never had? You had the thought of torturing young souls?
 The taste of power is sweet, take a sip!
 There's no regret in this corrupted world
 Don't let out feelings of sympathy
 It's been done since time immemorial
 Our challengers, in birds they were transformed
 Cruelty's your only true recourse
 Maybe once, I won't allow it
 Seems too kind to rise above it
 Maybe this time I'll be vulgar
 I'll see through you, pride is not my sin
 Burned candle at both ends
 It's too late for apologies
 Try, try, try, try, try, try
 Mercy is for the weak
 Your mind is wandering
 You can't, you can't refuse the consequences
 The taste of power is sweet, take a sip!
 You won't regret, it's just a helpless soul
 Empathy is just a human flaw
 Feelings esteemed to highly
 A fair warning, for poisoning your heart
 Now dwell upon it, choice is yours
 Burned candle at both ends
 It's too late for apologies
 Try, try, try, try, try, try
 Mercy is for the weak
 Desolate, devastate, mutilate, dominate
