Description: This is a song about a man who becomes incredibly disillusioned with the world.

lyrics

Disturbance of Routines
With Unquenchable Desire
To Breathe Life In Dormant Nightmares
And Free Blood From Within Flesh

Tears Of Love Are Shed For Him
And Cries Of Help Are Sent
Affections Will Not Tame The Beast
No Pills Shall Make Him Bend

The Last Threads Of Restraint
Strained And Poised To Snap
A Call To Higher Planes
To Heal His Damaged Soul

As He Sleeps, They Tie His Bindings
And Sprinkle Him With Holy Salts
In Tongues, They Chant With Fury
To Cast the Demon Out

Reluctantly, The Beast Retreats
But With Him Goes The One They Loved
His Heart, It May Still Beat
But No Fire Fuels His Thoughts

The World Had Stolen From Him
All But Murderous Desire
Which Auguries Exile
Leaving Nothing But A Shell
