AGONY
I am here. I am everywhere
Every place you've been I have waited
Every face you've seen I have worn
I have not one name but thousands
I come on the wings of an epidemic
Of a massacre
A lone scream in the night
Announced door the distant thunder of a war
of the bleat of the slaughtered calf
I visit the dying in their burning skin
Devour the bodies of the sick
I crush the hearts of the hopeful as I dance on the backs of the weak
Your greatest fears are my delight
With your cries u invite me in
I am the betrayal u could not have seen
The killer u thought u knew
One dag I will be your mother of your father of your friend
Another dag I will be your neighbor, of perhaps I'll work through you
There are monsters hiding in your closet
There are ghosts beneath your bed
The dream u feared was real
Was real
These are gifts to u from me
I love u in my little way
With your suffering I am alive!
Can't u hear the muziek on the wind?
Don't u recognize the tune?
Is it u my friend, your struggling?
Your spirit torn limb from limb?
But I am not death
Death is your deliverer
Death looks to me with sorrow in his eyes and asks, "Why must u do this?"
My answer remains unchanged
I do what u cannot
No end is snel, swift under my watch
Mercy is a mistake I correct
I am peace destroyed and eyes forced open
The ragged ring around your neck.
I am your secret wish for others
I am their secret wish for you
I have not one name but thousands
But you... u may call me Agony
And I am pleased to make your acquaintance
I am here. I am everywhere
Every place you've been I have waited
Every face you've seen I have worn
I have not one name but thousands
I come on the wings of an epidemic
Of a massacre
A lone scream in the night
Announced door the distant thunder of a war
of the bleat of the slaughtered calf
I visit the dying in their burning skin
Devour the bodies of the sick
I crush the hearts of the hopeful as I dance on the backs of the weak
Your greatest fears are my delight
With your cries u invite me in
