rapture in euphoria, sweet revenge so horrifying

even though all is black, won't forgive - can't forget

shadows of those who died, their energy bring me to life

even though all is black, won't forgive - can't forget

reaching out for a soul, lost the will to control

victim of circumstance, forever trapped in a trance

disillusioned by the world, a never ending spell a curse

to remain ... where i reign, i have power



i must say, i admire the view

from my ebony tower, watching you



thirty years, three decades - eleventhousand night and days

still alive, still insane, sun shines in the acid rain

take a look - people die, and you never wonder why?

the beginning of the end, solitude's my only friend

imprisoned in my world of confusion

shattered dreams feed my illusions

powerful forces of nature

tearing down what i've created

reaching, losing, disillusioned...
