Eyes of the Cruel

The power you hold 
Creating me to be your advantage
Overwhelms the power 
Of the mind
Thou the brain is its own
Has the magnetism of evil

Exhaustion is my soul
Through all the burns
To foresee the pain that brings thee
Memories at last forgotten
Relived to see thee
Tremble at its feet
And act selfishly

Insanity is my everyday drug
Addicted to the core
For all the bullets 
That goes through break free
Holes of all kinds
To show your mark 
For the hate of human kind

Torture comes easily
To the mind of those
Who see only suffers
The bad remembrance 
And cultures
Of the slaves who worked free
To show they had no pride
For the ones who created thee

I am open free
So come and take me
To that secret lair of yours
And strip me away of my need
For everyone to see
You acted like this
For all the men who played that role

My desires roam the halls careless 
And heroes of great destiny 
Vanished being looked
Of the eyes of the cruel
Who attack the amazing

For the laughter of you
The one who killed
The phenomenal wonders
Who stepped foot
To the world of the brave
And inspired the ones
Who took you away
