No Such Thing As Free

The shadows lurk in the weirdest places
A thousand dreams and a hundred faces
Pierce your skin with a look so fair
Spy on you as you wander there

The screams emit from the fiery glow
Dancing in embers wherever they go
Surrounded by misanthropy and anarchist attire
The devil sits with tortured souls, three demons are for hire

I listen to your voice, and I bleed your thoughts
For your life, you have fought
But you cannot escape what is meant to be
In this world there is no such thing as free

Children sing and play their games
Unaffected by the hurt and pain
You want to join, but you cannot fight
The darkness calls, it steals your light

Pulling at your memories, you must abide
There is no-one in whom you can confide
There's just emptiness - a vast blank space
Filled in with my poisoned grace

I listen to your voice, and I bleed your thoughts
For your life, you have fought
But you cannot escape what is meant to be
In this world there is no such thing as free

I whistle a tune as I bask in glory
Smothered in hate and the Lord's own fury
Breeding new fiends, throwing out the old
Your past life was silver, but this one is gold

Knowing you despise, you hide in your disguise
Wishing that I would stop
Knowing that you must rot
In order for this to succeed
You must bend to my every need

I listen to your voice, and I bleed your thoughts
For your life, you have fought
But you cannot escape what is meant to be
In this world there is no such thing as free

Death is easy, life is tough
Raise your hand if you've had enough
I hold no pity, 'tis your own damn fault
To spend eternity in my Hellish vault

Blood will prevail, you will fall
I shall rise again, to rule you all

You'll never escape what is meant to be
In this world there is no such thing as free
