Slaying the Wolf Within

Arms have stretched
 Beyond their reach
 Craving for a false perfection
 Safe
 Under self-deception's wing
 Craving for a false protection
 Illusion is solace
 Reflection is pain
 Nothing loved - nothing lost
 Nothing tried - nothing lost
 I called on despair to guide me
 Summoned the cold again
 I bit from the grapes
 Of seduction
 Because reflection is pain
 This is my wasteland
 Empire without a king
 Where resignation rules
 Slaying the wolf within
 Nothing loved - nothing lost
 Nothing tried - nothing lost
 Illusion is knowledge!
 Rest in peace!
 Illusion is solace!
 Rest in peace!
 I called on despair to guide me
 Summoned the cold again
 I bit from the grapes
 Of seduction
 Because reflection is pain!
 This is my wasteland
 Empire without a king
 Where resignation rules
 Slaying the wolf within
 I would rather sense
 Nothing at all
 Than sense
 What is true
