Nothing burns you like the truth.
I know all that I hate;
Dropped like a dead weight on my skull.
Shaken, awakened -
I hate a piece of me.
I see the world with different eyes.
The story of you and me
Is older than the pyramids
With someone always in between...
My wine glass dropped to the floor,
Splintered in a million shards.
I stared at my sister in the picture
Trying once again to take what was mine.
I will take it back
And bind it to me.
Game, set, match
CHECKMATE.
I win again, bitch
I caught on again, bitch.
Your time is over, let me move in,
It's my turn...
I aged three centuries
In two seconds;
Nothing now stands in my way
You were gone and buried yesterday...
And you...you proud man,
Deceived once again...
You know I'm wiser than you
Though this Earth only says I'm 22.
I know a little too much
And it's gonna help me this time.
I know a lot more now
To make my climb...
Did you hear that scream?
Did you hear that silent scream, sister?
As I pulled at my hair
And doubled over, red in the face
Looking at your picture?
Windows exploded four hundred miles away.
Could you feel the quake as I threw
My head back in disbelief?
A tortured bolt of knowing.
Get ready for that game,
You already know who's going to win, right?
It's me.
Welcome to the law of spiritual resurrection.
I am not who I was an hour ago,
I will never be the same.
Thank you for opening my eyes
To the thunderbolt path of accelerated karma -
Welcome the new me.
Your older sister is going to teach you a lesson...
- The me you have always feared
And waited for in this life;
With bones of iron
Blood of lava
And wings of the burnt pheonix,
Bloody and shorn lamb
Shed and reborn.
The time has come to meet your challenger...
The god of war rules me well,
And I will not let my father down.
I will show a battle of my most brutal tactics
With your neck under my feet.
Victor, victorious shall be my new name -
I come in counter-defensive assault
I am armored, prepared
For the onslaught.
I raise my sword in the air,
For what I have always been...
And you have always dared
To take from me.
