Paving the way for the worst of us
To elevate themselves
Taking their pound of flesh
Moving to take the helm
Someone to lead the way
Someone to lead the way
Down on my knees again
Bold as they come, trading their barbs
With the alacrity of a child
Beholden to none, taking apart
All who dare to oppose their will
There can be no reprieve
Now you've found your release
Why do we refuse to see
All you appear to be
And now we are here again
Down on my knees again
Placating the beast, keeping our distance
From the drama that you create
Before the tension breaks
And a demon wakes
Dedicate yourself to me
And be redeemed
You had best believe
It's my time to ascend
Dedicate yourself to me
And be redeemed
You had best believe
I'm more than you could ever be
Just submit
Feeling the heat as we enumerate
All that we gave away
Cutting our losses today
Before we are fooled again
Navigating the waters
Falling back to the same routine again
Escaping the tidal wave
Keeping our heads
Nothing can compare
Dedicate yourself to me
And be redeemed
You had best believe
It's my time to ascend
Dedicate yourself to me
And be redeemed
You had best believe
You don't mean a thing to me
Maneuvering again
A beginning
Bludgeoning all who come between
What you have and what you need
Spit into the eye
Of all who would deny
It's a game for you to analyse
Feigning disinterest
You were made for this
So take the hit
And never show fear again
Swallowing hurricanes
In your violence
Any who dare remain
Will cower in your wake
Paving the road to hell
You and I have been deceived
Nothing else left to give
