From flesh to steel...
+
I fortify this easily splintered bone
+
Into a stronghold of will,
+
As the balance of man lay beaten
+
In the wake of its own frailty.
+
Hollow words will burn.
+
Hollow men will burn.
+
A horde eager to accept deceit,
+
And more so to speak it.
+
Words will sear the throats
+
Of those who freely beguile.
+
The truth burns through my veins,
+
And in my black heart.
+
Breathe the flame that will overwhelm you
+
Flaw ignites swiftly.
+
A product of conceit so absorbed and vain
+
That he thinks himself divine.
+
He is sure to die.
+
And man must truly be god,
+
For he has tried so hard to create me in his image-
+
A formless shadow deprived of life.
+
I am the wayward son of man.
+
My fathers have darkened what was
+
That warmest heart the world would have ever known.
+
Relish in what you have created.
+
How can flesh be arrogant
+
When it's easily charred?
+
A lesson need be learned.
+
These blistered hands will come to be the iron fist
+
That bestows true and proper perspective.
+
Set your body ablaze.
+
Hallow words will burn.
+
And hollow men will burn.
+
