Solace

We have waited for so long
For the coming of this day
And though others would fly away to a distant place
I think I'll stay
And how would we have it any other way
In this solace I see a light
Piercing the darkness
Coming on the winds of imagery
When all I know is crumbling
I am becoming something more than humanity could ever allow me to be
I remember a day when my dreams of escape seemed so far away

Let's go back in time, you and I, to my
Initiation to your false empire
You greased
You aimed
And then you spit
While I once again pushed away my conscience

Yet always, it seems
I cannot fathom the plateau without first the pit

Against the goads there can be no pleading
Because every thought reaps an action
And for you, my former captor
All the earthly wisdom and wealth
Cannot erase your susceptibility
To brutal mortality
And the funny thing about justice
Is that it always comes when you least expect it
So friends, it won't be long
Seems I stole your smile
Right from wrong

So forever now we'll find
Our peace inside this
We'll find our solace in your silence
And though I once desired your twisted sense of fame
I know, I know
That in myself I'm nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing but the words of the meaningless

You have given me all I'll ever need:
The nerve
The greed
The lust, the lust, the lust, the lust
For justice
And now I will never rest until the meaningless become your silence

And you're over, over, over
Out!

Now I mean to thank you once again with this
My, my, my goodbye kiss
You broke my heart
But something tells me that I won't
That I won't
That I won't miss it
And on this very day
And on this very hill
While the heavens are hushed in anticipation
Beckoning we'll have ourselves a reckoning
And all of the oppressed will greet you

And you're over, over, over
Out!

Over, over, over
