Of Strength and the Lust for Power

Redeem thy misspent time that is past
 And live this day as if thy last
 Do you remember the forest before dawn?
 When you and I were impetuous and strong
 Forming worlds and making legends with our thoughts
 Dreaming boldly with a strength that can't be taught
 ♪
 Leave this place
 You are not welcome here
 In light of what you've done
 Oh, my tainted son
 ♪
 How welcoming
 Just like the Father who
 Resented me from birth
 I am not your son
 The strength you seek
 Buried 'neath a reeking corpse
 The death wrought by your dreams
 ♪
 I only seek to restore what wisdom was lost
 To champion those who must remain
 Those who must remain Erthwile
 You think me mad
 My mind twisted and cruel
 I admit, my sins belie my goals
 But the madness is your own
 The power is limitless
 Don't you know? We could bring her back
 ♪
 One day I know you will let me soar
 And then you shall watch in excited horror
 As you see all of the terrible things that I do
 And you realize, it is only you
 ♪
 I, as well
 Longed for that wistful gaze (I was never meant to know)
 Oh, to know
 A father's warm embrace
 ♪
 I, as well
 Longed for the fresh sea air (All those years I never thought)
 I had thought
 Somehow I'd make you care
 Within me
 A bestial entity
 Is in control
 Destiny no longer belongs to me
 Corruption takes its toll
