Bring it a little bit closer.
I want to see it.
I want to smash it,
and my eyes are not
as good as they used to be.
I want to destroy it,
choke it,
kill it.
Spent my whole life trying to change it,
and I’m sick of disappointments.
Sick to death of this
conciliation
watering down my purity.
I was closer to God
than any of you,
and now I’ll die in obscurity.
I suffered for you,
gave my life for the lie.
Now, the last hands
you’re going to feel
are mine.
I’m gonna have the last laugh,
if they think that I’m going to leave
this world to the weak and mild.
The strongest of you
couldn’t stand the truth
of what this world really is in the wild.
Come here, my child.
Let me show you
what all these teeth are for.
They’re gonna wish
they had listened to me,
when they tally up the score.
Let me hold it
in these old hands of mine,
before it’s gone
and we follow in time.
It’s been so easy,
erasing the past,
and taking the future with me
will be the kindest act.
You all should have listened.
