Dark Angel - Pain's Invention, Madness Lyrics
Chains shackle meWith truth I'm face to faceBacked up in betweenA damp cage I remainIn the cell of numb despairThe chill engulfs my veinsThere's only one notion that I revereThe only truth in life is painIt levels and crushes at its free willMy doomed fate will soon be sealedPain's invention, madnessPreys behind my eyesPain's invention, madnessNow I realizePain's invention, madnessThough I'll not break freePain's invention, madnessTruth eternallyBeyond my grasp is a lifeThat I will never attainHappiness, joy, not in sightSupplanted by truth's dark reignPhysical, mental agony showsAlong which my life revolvesEither you feel it, or you don'tThere are never lies involvedClutching to my abnormalityHand in hand with destinyPain's invention, madnessPreys behind my eyesPain's invention, madnessNow I realizePain's invention, madnessThough I'll not break freePain's invention, madnessTruth eternallyWhen you are pumping full of lifeThe one sensation that you haveCan penetrate through love or hateExistence on a higher planeIn death and life, both the domainsSurrender totally to painI slip and claw and screamIt callsLeave me alone with meIt yearnsI'm bleeding from my brainIt needs meI'm helpless, trapped behindIts wallsTearing apart my mindIt burnsUpon my ***** soulIt feedsStreams of consciousness fill the pageAs my nerve endings scream in rageDeliver me to the darkest ageAs DeSade sits at center stageMy flesh is but a portal nowTo wisdom and truth I am avowedPain's invention, madnessPain's invention, madnessTwisting through the doorAm I nevermore?My breath I can feelTherefore I am realI've succumbed to there heinous sinsAnd I'll never be forgivenShackled and bound, my new life I've foundAnd I've tasted the fruits forbiddenI've craving moreOf pain's overturesLiberation is nearAnd I have nothing to fearIn this journey of self-discoveryI have found the keys to be set freeIn this wicked course, I've uncovered the forceThat will keep me vital eternallyPain's invention, madnessThe force that preys behind my eyesPain's invention, madness upon mePain's invention, madnessIt takes this long to realizePain's invention, madness, has set me freeTranscendencyOf mere mortalityTortured inflictionIs now my addictionConstant agonyHas created meI am sufferingThrough this atrocityI'm not blind to what I might findSquirming way down deep inside my labyrinthine mindInhibitions removed, replaced with scar tissueAnd I'm punished with blades of my lobotomizing suitI've sought this dreamIn its violent extremeNow my pleasure is clearThough the lesson's severeeMy will is strong, but I could be wrongThis new doctrine for which I've been searching all along isThe religion of truth through administration of painThe body only takes so much before it drives the mind insaneAs a matter of fact, my friendI've come to my bitter endIt's not a torture rack I'm inThough I can still pretendIt's a jacket of white with buckles and strapsNot a pleasure device at allIt keeps me safely under wrapsWhile I'm chained to this padded wallhear my cries...you'll never know
