Fragile eyes don't stare too long The graves are dug with more to come Look away before you cease And the gravity pulls you underneath This land is not for the living I'm the only one who shall thrive in these ruins Turn around, do not resist You'll be escorted to a new habitation Winds of war knock down the signs that give answers to the wandering souls Ignorance plagues everyone inhabiting the battlefield alone Dragged away from my home Forced to oppose my beliefs Redesigned into a machine that's Consciously still human I must discontinue the creation of my kind I shouldn't be alive and neither should my maker Winds of war knock down the signs that give answers to the wandering souls Ignorance plagues everyone inhabiting the battlefield alone Your destination was never a chosen path You were chosen by me to be a tool for my wrath Cling on to your consciousness It's amusing that you manifested any hope at all Liberate my body from these programs Slicing these wires to break free Patterns escaped your thoughts There's trails of evidence Seeing through your chicanery I know what you planted in me With a witty game of card tricks You envisioned upper hand Now that I've escaped your grip you'd better have a plan You thought you could use me for diabolical ideals I will turn my wrath on you It's what you created me to do I sought out all your antics These repercussions reflect back to you This land is for the souls who've been expelled from their homes Obey the protocols Redeem, redirect the pawns War is universal I've become the king Flip the fucking chessboard Patterns escaped your thoughts There's trails of evidence Seeing through your chicanery I know what you planted in me With a witty game of card tricks You envisioned upper hand Now that I've escaped your grip you'd better have a plan
