LEAVE SCARS
|
(Music: Hoglan/Durkin, Lyrics: Hoglan)
|
|
I am an angel of darkness
|
Abhorrent to those who are frail
|
The strength inside me is my will to believe
|
In myself, with no self-betrayal
|
My force is my own preservation
|
My destiny mine to control
|
I don't live my life to be judged by anyone
|
Surviving intact is my role
|
|
Lost time is never found again
|
Screaming through my life of speed--insanity, mach ten
|
I utilize the life I've been given
|
Or else it's as if I've never been
|
|
I take pains to make my presence known
|
If it's a negative impression then I'll take the blame alone
|
I have no regrets and I call my life my own
|
I have no time for the words left in stone
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
I acknowledge only one thing;
|
My own authority
|
Answering to no one, I leave no trace of pity
|
My independence rules my life
|
I can't help what you are
|
For this I won't apologize
|
Because I leave scars!!
|
I promise you agony
|
If you attempt to intervene
|
Just pay attention to yourself, you're barely existing
|
I'm thriving on the life I lead
|
A veteran of human wars
|
For this I won't apologize...
|
Because I leave scars!!
|
|
I practice angelic darkness
|
My convictions keep wolves from my door
|
I know what it means to have someone tamper with my dreams
|
Deflowering my essence, my core
|
I once sought no recrimination
|
But now I seek the price be paid
|
Forever wary, always guarded against anyone
|
Who's mistaken me for easy prey
|
|
Defeatist attitudes are only in vain
|
As you wonder of my species--must I really be explained?
|
Realize now that I'm ingrained
|
Knowingly, forever on your brain
|
|
Nemeses falter in their plebian ways
|
Employing methods to usurp my reign, my inner maze
|
Seeking clues to uncover the clever turn of phrase
|
Salient words are found amidst the haze
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
I acknowledge only one thing;
|
My own authority
|
Answering to no one, leave no trace of pity
|
My independence rules my life
|
I can't help what you are
|
For this I won't apologize
|
Because I leave scars!!
|
I promise you agony
|
If you attempt to intervene
|
Just pay attention to yourself, you're barely existing
|
I'm thriving on the life I lead
|
A veteran of human wars
|
For this I won't apologize
|
Because I leave scars!!
|
|
A mercenary I may be, I tend to feel I'm not
|
My only need is to maintain my lot
|
I have a lust for life that stands to be my legacy
|
I'm proud to say, "with my life, I am free"
|
|
To leave a mark, necessity, my memory redeemed
|
I suffer not from lack of self-esteem
|
Someday my confidence will be a mass contagion
|
I assure you this is no self-exaltation
|
|
I cicatrize myself upon your mind
|
You won't forget my actions as you will find
|
|
I'm lord and master
|
Of my own future!!
|
|
SOLO: DURKIN
|
SOLO: MEYER
|
|
I am the darkest of angels!!
|
Indomitable in my will to succeed
|
I have a goal to ascertain
|
Entrenching myself upon your brain
|
These words I've bled upon this page
|
Have come from inside, how quickly I've aged
|
My innocence has died and was buried long ago
|
Eternally joined with a part of my soul
|
|
The weak of heart need not apply
|
I admit they're not for all--my caffeinated ways of life
|
Those who oppose me will end in bitter strife
|
Defacing human minds until I die
|
|
Those with open minds will benefit from my vows
|
A self-betrothal where I pay no heed to sacred cows
|
Further discussion time will not allow
|
Until we meet I'll take my bow
|
|
And remember...
|
|
I acknowledge only one thing;
|
My own authority
|
Answering to no one, leave no trace of pity
|
My independence rules my life
|
I can't help what you are
|
For this I won't apologize
|
Because I leave scars!!
|
I promise you agony
|
If you attempt to intervene
|
Just pay attention to yourself, you're barely existing
|
I'm thriving on the life I lead
|
A veteran of human wars
|
For this I won't apologize...
|
Because I leave scars!!
