Lord of Penitence

Downcast in this falsehood dawn
Absent of doubt, so innocent
Misguided child, I'll show you
The true realm of light

Behold my marvelous creation
Behold now, Genesis

Renascent beast, now you walk in human form
Pact sealed in flesh
Your soul bound by blood

Constant struggle for survival
Constant, unifocal, clouded perception
Senses locked in, trapped, ensnared away
Dormant congregation, my ascension

Wave upon wave you will come
You'll pass along the torch of Sin
The untold sentence forever

Your life, I own
Your faith, my throne

Extend yourself to me
Can't you see?
We're forged from the same seed
Extend yourself to me
Won't you see?
Darkness is all there is here

Extend to me

Do you feel the love
My blackened sting
To fill your blood with iron
So I may rust it at my will

Do you feel the pull
Do you feel my tendrils convoluting you
Your knees will crumble
And you will come to me for penitence
