Nice To Meet Me

A sky red from the blood Rose cheeks dull from the mud Hands worn through from the sludge A self no longer begrudged And murder is a potion of love Sacrifice devotion thereof And he without sin never was Now a changing of the guard has begun A kingdom that belies the internal Is a prison of the mind that's infernal And eternal is the lie turned plague So I've dug this grave so my truth won't fade I feel the war paint on my face I feel the ground tremble and quake I feel my heart sync to the pace that these war drums make I feel alive and awake And all I see is war path ahead of me Each and every step I welcome readily And if my lack of fear bring the death of me Let the spirits of my ancestors envelop me So know this is that armageddon coming A flood that goes beyond the refuge high upon the summit A sun become hole, black hold on consumption Spun inside itself into a beacon that has summoned That creature of the deep that leaves a pit inside your stomach That rumbling beneath that bodes arrival from above, and That nature of the beast that feeds upon the will to numb it That monster brought the seed of life, well now I have become it And I feel like I've got a gun Like I've been changed more ways than one And this whole world has just begun And it's so nice to meet me A self once masked by these stains That filth washed out with the rain When I'm done only thing that remains Is a tombstone etched with my name Look into a face that has changed Recognize the corpse in that grave Resurrect, what's lost can be saved I am now free, once slave And I am not a part of a game I am not a moth to a flame I am both man and brigade I won't be denied or restrained I am what the weak can't obtain I am what survives if it's slain I am rest in peace if you aim No I am not built of the same And I feel like I've got a gun Like I've been changed more ways than one And this whole world has just begun And it's so nice to meet me Behold a pale horse in my gaze High upon it Death in a rage He said he had the truth that I crave So my sword through his chest I gave Ain't no one command I behave Never put my faith in plans best laid And I don't follow rules that you made I think it's time I set this whole bitch ablaze On the precipice of slaughter is the Lord Angels and those demons come together with a cause And I don't think you really know the meaning of a storm Let this serve a lesson on the essence of reform Hatred without focus make the eager man fall Violence without purpose make the mighty man small Vengeance without mercy leave the noble man flawed And insurrection mounts behind those battle lines drawn But future is beholden to the present moment cast And prudence don't repeat the futile habits of the past And courage is to he that sheds his skeletons as last These trains of thought now heading toward a devastating crash Bloodshed to that order like a flower to a thorn Beauty know perfection like a child know the law And I advise you heed these words enlightened and forewarned Truth in what you are an oath of life to which I've sworn And I feel like I've got a gun Like I've been changed more ways than one And this whole world has just begun And it's so nice to meet me
