You Are The Reason

I am the thing that you cannot contain

Born from your fire, born from your pain

I’m an eternal smashing machine

Power unhinged on the verge of obscene

I hold doom in my hands and hate in my heart

Destruction to me is a work of sheer art

You try to deny me, yet always you fail

You try to expel me ‘neath moonlight so pale

Incantations abundant oh, how you try

Wailing and begging to your gods in the sky

But the gods do not listen, for they know it is true

The one reason I live, it lies solely with you

Your thefts and your murders, your rapes and your wars

You are the reason I’ve opened Hell’s doors

And the doors remain open, for you fools never learn

It is due to your folly that I watch your world burn

ยฉ The Beginning At Last

      1. Pretty much theyโ€™re all narcs narcissists. My last lesson was the greatest, though she was a covert narcissist, which is the worst.

  4. Good and scary. Agree that it could be a song but probably in line with Dio. Well done, Kevin.
