THE INDOMITABLE TYRANT
(by Idol of Cruelty)
[audio track] "But, isn't that wrong?"
"Ugh, well it's a good thing Jesus forgives!"
From your religious canons I demand
mercy, forgiveness and non-judgment
so that I may do whatever I want
I killed my brother just for the pleasure
then guilt-inflicted him for his forgiveness
not for my heart’s correction
but only to remove my guilt
[audio track] "Look, what's right and wrong isn't important. What's important is Jesus forgives"
[CHORUS]
I am the tyrant, I expect forgiveness
I am the tyrant, I demand forgiveness
I am the tyrant, I abuse forgiveness
for myself
Anything you say is a judgment
but I can attack you whenever I want
and if you point this out
I’ll accuse you of judging
For my sins I demand absolute mercy
but for your 'sins' which hurt me
you will pay the last penny
Don’t defend yourself
or I will rage at you to be calm
With the reproof called “forgiveness”
I keep you from expressing your feelings
causing them to destroy you inside
until you are helpless
then I attack you for having resent and depression
I will not suffer so that you can get better
[m.b. Terminator] "It doesn’t feel remorse... and it absolutely will not stop"
I don’t need virtue, I have forgiveness
I don’t like virtue, I have forgiveness
I don’t care about virtue, I have forgiveness
I don’t aspire for virtue, I have forgiveness
I hate virtue, I have forgiveness
[CHORUS]
I’ll misunderstand your words
so it will fit my weapon
I will identify your contradictions of speech
(even if I must manipulate)
but if you expose one from me
I’ll attack in disarray
[m.b. Terminator] "It can’t be reasoned with"
I cannot be dominated
I am irrationally intellectual
I cannot be dominated
I am invincible
I ignore other possibilities and the medium
and call you either “hypocrite” or “puritan”
I call you proud and self-righteous
by using unjust methods
If you apply them to me
you will pay the price
[m.b. Terminator] "It doesn’t feel remorse"
I cannot be dominated
I am unethically intellectual
I cannot be dominated
I am invincible
Not killing the body
but rather the mind
for the mind is greater than flesh
The dead have hope of company
Living shells are alone
You can’t fight me
You can’t stop me
You can’t make me see the light
And you can’t reason with my intellect
And in the name of “forgiveness” and “not judging”
I won’t stop scarring you up until you’re dead
[m.b. Terminator] "and it absolutely will not stop"
I cannot be dominated
I am chaotically intellectual
I cannot be dominated
I am invincible
[CHORUS]
To kill the pain of my life’s emptiness
I live only for the sensations
and nothing deeper
but if you acknowledge this
I will punish you, relentless
[m.b. Terminator] "It can’t be reasoned with"
My soul is lost and discontent
I must use these things to keep me blind
[m.b. Terminator] "It doesn’t feel remorse"
I choose not to be conscious of my conscience
[m.b. Terminator] "and it absolutely will not stop, ever"
Forgiveness is my weapon
Forgiveness is my license to sin
Forgiveness is my killing art
I am the tyrant
I pervert mercy
I do what I want
I am empty
[m.b. Heavy Metal] You cannot destroy me... No!
