Dragons of Destruction

i've chased dragons of destruction ever since i was conceived

perversion skewed my thoughts and turned the pure into obscene

the clean was made quite dirty and the good was made quite bad

while laughter was around me still the happy turned to sad

fear it filled my broken heart and hate came to the rescue

iniquity out of innocence...i rose like hannibal lector

haphazardly put together thin sticks turned into steel...a rabbits mind turned ravenous soon blood would have to spill

my heart got pierced with arrows...made of flesh now turned to stone

with wrath and vengeance in my soul i had to walk alone

way down in the valley this predator stalked its prey...while looking deep into their eyes they knew it was their final day

demons stayed behind me...i could hear their taunts and laughs

while i was chasing dragons destruction was my path

dragons of delusion and dragons of disease...the dragons of addiction were caught too easily

the hunter was the hunted and the master was the slave

i don't chase destructive dragons cause they're really chasing me
