The final push, vitriolic defeat,
Like a Phoenix I rise, you fall at my feet.
Who's laughing now, you lamentable clown?
You thought you could win, but I tore your house down.

The shockwaves destroying the life that you nurture,
And all you can do is accept that the torture
You see me deploy is meant not only for you,
But for those who you love and who you made love you.

Who loves you now? Who cares for your pain?
Who still has time for your self-obsessed reign?
Not the girl you deserted, nor the woman left broken,
By the endless derision of lies you have spoken.

I am your master, I am your King,
I am inside you, I pull every string.
I am who led you down the path that you chose,
And its I who shall piss on your corpse at lifes close.

I've always been here, you knew my existence,
You heard me deride your pathetic resistance.
How deluded you were, unaware of my might,
How weak your attempts to abscond from your plight.

Its over for you, for I have watched grow
The seeds that were sewn many years ago.
Frustration, self-doubt, confusion, guilt,
Cancers designed to destroy what you built.

I can't help but laugh as I fire my last arrow,
At your desperate struggles, though surely you know
Once you feel the impact of metal through flesh,
You'll be finally free of your tortured distress.

You see, I am your ally through all you have known,
The one who stood by you, never left you alone.
I led you to comforts and saved you from sin,
No need to thank me, just let me in.



Riposte

The arrow you fire may rip me open,
My blood may be spilt, my flesh may be broken,
My body may quake with the pain you inflicted,
My soul may scream out, but the win you predicted
Shall NEVER be yours, for this is my pledge...
When I find myself broken on lifes window ledge,
I shall find strength from you, with all you have done,
I shall turn to the mirror and see a dark Sun.
I will look in your eyes and all I will see
Is a demon inside of who I used to be.
I shall gather myself and tear you apart,
I shall squeeze the last drops of black blood from your heart.
Like an exorcist I shall extract your delusion
Like a surgeon I shall sever the confusion.
I may not live through this almighty conclusion,
For as we both know, I AM YOU, this illusion
Of innocence sought, well it never can be,
For most distressing of all......YOU ARE ME.
