The sickness that grows within This twisted child of my mind That which I mean to carry Of which I'll never let go And so I force it upon you Your order descends into chaos Now you take part in this burden It was never a matter of choice Suffer the presence of filth's incarnation A life born of humiliation Bound gagged and helpless you lay You will always remember this day I pull your strings my brother And you will listen to me Your sickness your darkness this blight And when your life is over Open your eyes and you'll see Your burden your torment is always me The sickness that grows within This cancerous abomination That which I'm forced to carry That which dictates my life So I provide it with life-force I'm the person that nurtures its hunger Were it a matter of choice I would call it my offspring no longer I pull your strings my mother And you will listen to me Your sickness your darkness this blight And when your life is over Open your eyes and you'll see Your burden your torment was always me I live to pass to another Something that never should have been The sickness spreads from within I gave you life my child And you will do as I please Your sickness your darkness defines you And when your life is over Open your eyes and you'll see Your burden your torment was always me
