Manhood

I CAN SENSE A CHANGE IN ME
IT KREPT UPON ME SILENTLY
NOT ONE I HAVE FELT BEFORE
AS I RAISE UP FROM THE FLOOR...
STRONGER OR SO IT MAY SEEM
AN OMEN FROM SOME OTHER DREAM
FILLS MY BODY WITH SUCH BLISS
LIKE A PRELUDE TO THE DEVIL'S KISS...
IMPATIENTLY  I  TAKE MY STAND
AND GRAB THE WORLD WITHIN MY HANDS
FROM THIS DAY FORTH I YIELD THE POWER
TO INTIMIDATE MY FINAL HOUR...
I'M NOT THE MAN I WAS BEFORE
AND NOW I KNOCK DOWN EVERY DOOR
RIDE OR DIE IS HOW I PLAN
TO TAKE THE STEP FROM BOY TO MAN...
