Shaaquo from Black by Red Ankh

So the world doesn't understand it's pain?
So you, mind open, see a secret truth?

So the world can't understand
So the world is in your hands
Pure cleanse, wash all memory
Not unlike a certain death cult

Freedom for the chosen ones
Reject liminality
Else submit to perfection
Demand absolute order

Paranoid obsession with an innocent past
No mistakes
An impossible space/time with knowledge none learned
If you can't accept what's happened, you can not see
Can't overcome
You mocked our quest to revive the past, now this madness?

Hypocritical, your martyrdom
Carrying the sins because others can't be trusted
Only you are noble enough to suffer so
Only you may be burdened with total authority

Dark from the edge of your mind?
Pride, it comes from only control
Was always core
Now, my dear, you are this horrid shadow

One more hero, cerebral and scared
Selfish justice, punishment prepared
Second chances now only for you
Judgement, power, only for the few

So force to those who don't know
So death, though you never asked
Godhood just to start again
Destroy, spare not one moment

Then where does your majesty belong?
Reject liminality
At least Harpist would go down with
Demand absolute order

Oh we get it, oh we know
It's been such a lonely road
How could this nightmare ever heal us?
But to step beyond is not to live beyond

No mistakes
Can't overcome

We see our selves in you, we know you
We've had such cynical thoughts too

Please, please reconsider, you have lost
It's just stubbornness now to hold on with only one move left
This can be ours and yours, a Universe for us all
It's not too late, won't you see what we've made

Oh, the beauty you are capable of
In darkness, in light, with heart black as night
Your love is true, bursting through, please let it out, to flow
Oh, please come home, my fallen star
Universe can't forget, you can let go
Why hide the relief, the answers you know?
Now tell us, if they were here now and saw you
What if, what would your innocent world choose?

Tribute to care, give only to you
Exchange just with your perfect designs
Yet you played in politics, so why?
Was it just a prideful injection?
(Of influence? A test?)

We're building a balanced and loving world
Yet you would still be gods
Seeing giving as only sacrifice
Is what sentenced you to this place
No one wanted your brand of perfection

Oh, the beauty you are capable of
In darkness, in light, with heart black as night
Your love is true, bursting through, please let it out, to flow
Oh please come home, my fallen star
Universe can't forget, you can let go
Why hide the relief, the answers you know?
Now tell us, if they were here now and saw you
What if, what would your innocent world choose?
