Freedom Reigns Here!
Here lies the monster within
Causing massive destruction
And pure sin
Breathing in fear
Building it in
Danger is near
Smoke arise!!!
Evil is clear in his eyes
Staring with hatred and envy
Greed and lust
With him, do not trust
Leading into darkness
Down a narrow path
Through sickness and suffering
And forceful wrath
Slowly slithering into your soul
Letting him have total
And complete control
And devouring you whole
This poisonous snake
With me will he take?
Pumping through my blood
This corroded thing
Made of diseased mud
Contort my faith will you now?
I think not!
It will be You left to rot
Soak me with stain
Call out my name
Listen will I?
Torment me with anguish
And pain
You are planning
Your overtake in vain!!!
Seep and creep
Into my dreams
With horrid nightmares
And agony that you bring
Sever me from flesh
And drain me with despair
Do it now ...
It is YOU I dare!
Engulf me with flames
If you will
Massacre me
With your kill
You will never have it!
In your face
I spit.
You cowardly coil
You sit there and boil
Breath in that smoke
It is you that will choke!!!
Even if you called out my name
Even if you spoke!
You will never reign!
Make a move!
I assure you
You will lose!
I remain FREE
As you can see
You can have him
To bend and break
But it is me
You will never take!
In death and there after
I surrender to no one
But the Lord above.
I have no master!
So the monster within remains
Detained never to gain ...
And for that I am stronger.
