Slaying the Wolf within

Arms have stretched beyond their reach
Craving for a false perfection
Safe
Under self-deception's wing
Craving for a false protection
Illusion is solace
Reflection is pain
Illusion is solace
Reflection is pain

Nothing loved, nothing lost
Nothing tried, nothing lost

I called on despair to guide me
Summoned the cold again
I bit from the grapes of seduction
Because reflection is pain
I called on despair to guide me
Summoned the cold again
I bit from the grapes of seduction
Because reflection is pain (Is pain)

This is my wasteland
Empire without a king
Where resignation rules
Slaying the wolf within

Nothing loved, nothing lost
Nothing tried, nothing lost

Illusion is knowledge!
Rest in peace!
Illusion is solace!
Rest in peace!

I called on despair to guide me
Summoned the cold again
I bit from the grapes of seduction
Because reflection is pain!
I called on despair to guide me
Summoned the cold again
I bit from the grapes of seduction
Because reflection is pain! (Is pain)

This is my wasteland
Empire without a king
Where resignation rules
Slaying the wolf within
Slaying the wolf within
Slaying the wolf within

I would rather sense
Nothing at all
Than sense
What is true
