Power

Power is destruction

A turbine of corruption

The cesspool grows

Out of control

The waste overflows

Takes its toll

Sometimes I feel

Everything is unreal

Like I’m the one awake

While the world is dreaming

With so much at stake

I’m the only one screaming

Following Nephilim among men

We pay the demon

In the fabric of confusion

We choose our chains

Living the freedom illusion

Which soothes our pains

Still building Babel

Where heaven fell

Needing to tear it down

Bring the gods to fall

Knowing if we bring them down

It might end us all

Power is corruption

Power is destruction

Can’t Adhere

I’m so broken the dust flies away.

No shards to cause any pain.

Nothing to put together again.

The winds blow me away

Until only memories remain.

Atoms no longer cohere.

Existence can’t adhere.

So what keeps me here?

Broken; I disappear.
