Messiah Complex I: Ivory Tower

Shameless, skying above
Preying on the nameless
Jury and judge
Everything they had was never enough
Spirit me away

Crawling under my skin, spiraling through my head
Taste my own medicine, drunk on the power
Rid this pestilence from within, a prayer for the innocent
Talk me down from the ledge of my ivory tower

Struggle to be in the now
When life's too much to swallow
It spits me right out, but I cling on
Reaping seeds I dare to sow
For all the lives I ever stole
And now I must repel the host
Forever I'll be spirited away

Crawling under my skin, spiraling through my head
Taste my own medicine, drunk on the power
Rid this pestilence from within, a prayer for the innocent
Talk me down from the ledge of my ivory tower

Where I end, you begin
When I fall, you will stand
