Seven Rings Left

Shadow of a soul you
 Come to me and wait for my approval
 To kneel here
 Sacred is the ground I tread
 Leave no footprints
 Perfect in your eyes, you fool
 Lay the lesser down
 This blood so dark and red
 Won't eat away the chains
 That hold you where I wish
 Where I wish
 Watch my every move so calculated
 Hunted by the prey but sly, indifferent
 Swallow all your pride the poison's
 Better that way
 When this scent arises new
 Lover of a lie
 Immersed inside yourself
 Dream your fractured mind away inside this cell
 Oppression, anger, fear and pain
 Restrain the fire to hold the flame
 To burn, to sear, to penetrate
 Allowed a voice to scream my name
 Grasp in your greed for the riches
 Give up the hopes for your pride
 Drink down the wine like a glutton
 Follow the lust in my eyes
 For I am the master so envied
 Free to be wasteful and sloth
 Fear now the wrath of my power
 Counting the sins to stay lost
 And weak and alone and ashamed
 Afraid, so afraid
 Of mistakes and failures to be
 Perfect, passive and unquestioning
 You're awake now, but far too weak
 So wait
 Worry, hide in shadow
 Do not speak, do not dissent, and lay down
 Take it, celebrate this pain
 Tear away the covers
 Useless vestiges of comfort
 Pointless tokens of a difference
 To hide from me
 Throw away the balance
 Senseless running without conscience
 Endless circle or a spiral
 We'll always bleed
 The same
 So lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down
 Lay down, slave
 Lay down, down
 Lay down
 Slave
 Lay down, down
 Lay down
 Slave
 Lay down, down
 Lay down
 Slave
 Lay down
