My Own Deception - Prototype

It came to me just like a nightmare

First I felt the hate

Then touched the sky

Feelings of distress just whisked away

Shroud of perfect, easing darkness

Did it ever leave?

I can’t recall

The last I tried

My eyes bled tears of joy

My own deception

The pain is no longer my own

Is this me?

It all seems so surreal

Mind infiltration

Resisting a dark god of rapture

Now I kneel to my master

I will persist, let go your mind

Do not resist, we are entwined

Leave me

You’ve crossed the empirical line

Return to your kind

This foreign star, not like our sun

We’ve come too far, it must be done

Nothing I do can keep you at bay

My senses astray

I walk the Earth, forever unaware

Now rejoice unto my spirit veil

The deathless youth

Eternal wisdom sail

A never-ending source of power

You will walk the path or turn a slave

The more you stand

The more I dig your grave

My own deception

The pain is no longer my own

Is this me?

It all seems so surreal

Self-reconstruction

Look into the eyes of despair

Then fall in their wake

I will persist, let go your mind

Do not resist, we are entwined

Leave me

You’ve crossed the empirical line

Return to your kind

This foreign star, not like our sun

We’ve come too far, it must be done

Nothing I do can keep you at bay

My senses astray

(Solo: Kragen)

(Solo: Vince)

(Solo: Kragen)

A plan to imprison us all

Until we find a way

In time their perversion will stall

For now, surveil

(Solo: Kirk)

It came to me just like a nightmare

I walk the Earth, forever unaware

The pain no longer there

I’ve lost the will, my sense of reason

The core in disrepair

Can I believe my own deception?
