Xanthochroid - Of Strength and the Lust for Power lyrics

Artist: Xanthochroid

album: Of Erthe and Axen: Act II


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
