Dominion - Anathema Lyrics

Staring at the true face of humanity
I'm left to pound away at my skull until it is empty
Of all the horror I see inflicted
The greatest is the mirror has become the enemy

Awake to the dark, or asleep in the light

Crucifix turning its head down on me
Born into a shroud of appalling falsities
Disappointing all those who mislead consciously
I am at fault for wanting absolute verity
The witch continues to reveal her face to me
Haunting my depths, cyclical meandering
Despairing by contrite weights that cling to me
Forever to drag them through this earth searching

Hate me, despise me
Loathe me, abhor me
Condemn me, revile me
Detest me, disparage me
Hurt me, demean me
Abuse me, belittle me
Hide me, erase me
Finally you're rid of me

I belong nowhere I'm a freak
I'm a child of the dark; I'm a son of misery
Confined to a moment in time on the infinite plane of no death or birth
Stuck between innumerable worlds but the same infernal earth
What lies deep in the corridors of that mind, my child?
Why can't you just let go of that place of waste and wild?

You rejected me in the name of Christ
When a simple, "you're not good enough," would have sufficed
You wear that crown of thorns like that is your life
Manipulating others: your great "burden sacrifice"

Feel my hate
