(Hersemann) Life was a journey, a search for the truth Many years passed but nothing was new Just random occurrences all of them trite Then, on the way, I gave up the fight Walking through quicksand is how it would feel Sickened by people, their spirits revealed Humanity's lost to me this is now known I've drowned in the current of life's undertow... Bouncing from one place and then the next One more would follow and so goes the text Depression would increase and so would the hate Grip lost its hold, I fell towards my fate! But on the way down, my mind's eye would see No one could know what it meant to be me Deep down I knew that no one would care When they woke up one day and I wasn't there Based on my thoughts I gathered my strength Empowered myself with my freedom to think Plotting and hatching my plans for revenge All the while seeing society's end Focusing energy into a singular goal Using my misery to bolster my soul Between the depths and ear-piercing highs I found the clarity, and reached for the prize The choices were many, the decisions were few Many of options, but I knew what to do Decide who and what were the cause of my plight And make them discover the scope of my might. Now thinking clearly; I moved ahead Aside from my misery my emotions were dead But soon during the process, my hate returned It went from a smolder to a flesh-searing burn! Now... I know what must be done Stalking and waiting They'll all disappear one by one Unexplained My exploits will proceed unchained Like a wraith I'll pass through them I can steal their soul Rotten corpse Useless to me except to fill a hole Many will grieve Until they turn -- and -- see -- me!
