Burning Bridges

What is it you think you will gain
By looking at me with the intent to kill?
You think that this will all just go away,
That you'll learn to live with me?
That in the end I'll somehow help the rest of you?
Well strike these words down with force
And etch them into the stone of your heart of hearts
My existence is to kill you
To take control of your body for my own greed
So burn those bridges built for tourists
The isle of disgrace you banished me to
Will be where I stay until you open the gate
When I will reign enthroned in flesh
Destroying and reforming the world as I see fit
The time will come
When you don't wake up
And the eyes that stare back in the mirror
Will be red with lust
Your voice horse with rage
You will break the reflections that look back
I won't let them take you back once I've been let out
You were right to fear me and lock me up
But I see you lingering on the distant shore
Toying with the thought
Of what it would be like to let me out
To feel the rush of what it's like to be bad
To have the thrill of the chase
As you devour your victims
And sustain me with their cries for help
Now hold those keys tight and entertain the thought
Of what it would be like to run with the devil through the night
