Superstitious tongues childhood blights
Exorcisms and voodoo fill his nights
A cursed birth, a an evil within
Only he knows that the devil is him
How else can a child so bright
Make sense of such a plight?
No spell can cast his evil out
But leaves him scarred
and in no doubt
That those who care are mistreating him:
Youthfulful belief had him filled with fear
Now he knows that those he held dear
Saw only the power his shadow could weild
Untramelled knew not his mind is a sheild
hes the founder of a design business lo and behold!
Recessions see it fail, misery round the world
But each time anew, his charismap so bold
Saw business and enterprise for him unfold
"Mind razor sharp
Strategy got me through
Both violence and crime
And a degree or was it two.
The devil within had a different plan
Twas but disease afflicting the man
Who every adversity had over come
Stronger than me, not a single one
" I fought for my place
I fought to the top
Even when hopeless
I fought left to rot
They can take it all:
faith in my father
hollow loyalty
Gone is my eye but
never clearer I see:
No place on earth now
Is safe for me, trusting and
Loving no more I allow
Family and friends I disavow
To live is to sufffer
And pain has no end.
Trials far tougher
Just round the bend
Now love turns to hate
As delusions grow
My hurt so great
Hurt I cause less so
Promise of tomorrow?
, that I have none
No feelings of sorrrow
Just safety of my gun
Behold and shiver!
My venimous rage
a deadly viper
... I spring from cage
My tongue whip smart
Knows just what to do
A future in which I'll play no part
Or so I thought but things do cbange
What I did is done, but life is strange
And the carnage I caused can be erased.
