I can only stare and wonder Dreams and visions That I ponder, so clearly now There before me, figure in darkness Rage and anger, cold and heartless He wants to take me back somehow I cant take it no more Tempting fate, my soul awaits its crucifixion I cant take it no more The influence imprisons me With its intrigue, as you can see A punishment I live out all the time Something inside me wants to break out Lies with conviction, leaving no doubt Hes waiting there Looks for weakness, tries to persuade me His certain ending is all that I seeHe wants to take me back somehow I cant take it no more Tempting fate, my soul awaits its crucifixion I cant take it no more The influence imprisons me With its intrigue, as you can see A punishment I live out all the time
