As I recall these events From a place of clarity I've found a beast awaits in me An excuse, to be set free Chains of our morality Binds the limbs of the beast But as my patience thins These old chains will break When my rage hits its threshold Lone, I beg to be For it is my remedy Alone, I beg to be For it brings me clarity The silence satiates me Brings sanity Lacerations on the wrists from the chains that bind No end in sight, for this tortured mind To gnaw the wounds would thus release him But his blood burns his throat like a thousand Suns Lacerations on the wrists from the chains that bind No end in sight, for this tortured mind Patience thins These old chains will break When my rage hits its threshold Patience thins These old chains will break When my rage hits its threshold I, am one with the beast I fear its release And as the days go by The balance shifts My inner chi, is unscathed But there's hell within me One day rage will rule The levee breaks You'll drown in sorrow And I, will rest on the bodies of the dead I need you to know Even though I walk a path of virtue Some of you, I really want to hurt you For to know peace, you must know war It's a path you've never had to walk before To know peace, you must know war This world is weak, it's rotten to the core Lacerations on the wrists from the chains that bind No end in sight for this tortured mind Patience thins These old chains will break When my rage hits its threshold Patience thins These old chains will break When my rage hits its threshold Please release me These words repeat for all eternity Please the monotony These days repeat for all eternity
