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
