Lockdown Song

(This song is all about how I feel in this locked-down madness) Hey you, I didn't come to bash you, But I can't help freakin' out about you When all I want is silence. Each day I fall down on my knees. I hate this world. This is how I feel. (It's fleeting, but the problem is that it's chronic) Yeah, I push you away, angry, Yet I can't help needing your acceptance And all I wish is some sleep. Each day I fall down on my knees And I hate you all. Yeah, this is how I feel. I don't know who you are I don't know where you're from I don't how you feel I don't really hate you but please stay away from me In this turmoil, I feel alive Some day, anyhow, I'll find relief I say I hate you, but it's a lie Again I'm lost, drifting inside

The Quest for Melchiah

My brother was made last, and therefore received the poorest portion of Kain's gift. Although immortal, his soul could not sustain the flesh, which retained much of his previous human frailty. This weakness, it seemed, was passed on to his offspring. Their fragile skin barely contains the underlying decay. What has become of my clan? Show yourself, creature! The master's beyond your reach He makes himself known when he sees fit The master's beyond your reach He makes himself known when he sees, when he sees fit Do you not recognize me, brother? Am I so changed? Everyone is afraid, sibling. You awake to a world of fear. These times of change are so unsettling. You are the last to die The master's beyond your reach He makes himself known when he sees fit The master's beyond your reach He makes himself known when he sees fit, not when commanded Now I'm knocked to my knees... Am I reduced to this? I consume souls. Am I a ghoul? A fratricide? Am I a ghoul? It's fratricide, is it? Now I'm knocked to my knees Am I reduced to this? I consume souls Ne suis-je donc qu'un monstre? Un fratricide? The master's beyond your reach He makes himself known when he sees fit Not when commanded Not when commanded, no
