The Waltz of Hate

Are we once more reigniting this old dance mother dear? Will we dance amongst the lies, Try to strike the other first with venom field whips? Once more to the rhythm of things I see, The old Waltz of the minds has began Will this slow battle turn into a furious Tango? You twirl your power over me with a wicked smirk You believe me to be submissive, to follow your lead, to relinquish my will to live I laugh at your ignorance, oh don't you know that I burn with a passion too? That a poison courses through my veins That a deep hate is imbedded into my soul? With this rotting pain will I break free Free of your chastising chains Free of your hateful home Free of your sinister smile Free of your lie filled love You think you're taking the lead That I follow your steps That to your rythm my heart beats But you're wrong, I plot and plan Wait and lie For the day which by law I'll be free That by choice I'll leave That by my own free will, Do I leave this tiresome dance of hate
