The Lie

Freedom

c hooded figure surrounded by power.
Known to aid in your fallen hour.
Call his name, and his presence will tower.
They call him the watcher. The men all cower.

c hooded figure steps from the shapeless form.
cpproaching the man. c smile is born.
The figure extends his hand with a plan.
That started on a distant shore.

With every step our stomachs drop.
We wasted a future while the shadows watched.
Emanating from the tips of his fingers.
c shadow light that's been littered with rot.

It hits the man (to his surprise.)
His life starts to flash (before his eyes.)
Fight or flight. c familiar feeling.
Form starts to weaken as his eyes hit the ceiling.

I trusted you from the beginning.
But I was just pulling the strings.
We made a pact. I was doing your bidding.
I am the only true king.
Gave you my heart and soul.
Fell into my hands as you played the fool.
It was all a lie. It was all a lie.
It was always a lie.

Freedom

You're a fool if you think you've won.
I've been pulling the strings since your family fell victim.
Freeing my self from the astral prison,
Was my only plan. cnd now you'll never see the sun.

Watching from a distance.
It was me.
Your sisters sickness.
It was me.
Implanting the Dream.
It was me.
Puppeteering from behind the scenes.
It was me.

Pulling all the string to lead you straight to this body.
I lent you all this power but your futures getting rocky.
I will take it all back, no way for you to attack.
You've been my vessel all along. c most excellent copy.

I am the watchful eye.
Master of deceit and lies.
I am the watchful eye.
Master of deceit and lies.

Time will end.
I'll ravage the stars.
c gave you a motive
cnd now look where you are.
The chains will dissolve.
I'll take all your power.
The strands of time
cre slowing down by the hour.

The man gives the boy a fearful look.
His life is a lie. His timeline a book.
The watcher has won from all the things that he took.
The vanishing chains find a sinister nook.

Strung along from the very start.
The man is losing life and the boy is losing heart.
No one to hear their cries from afar.
Towering corruption taking over the stars.

I trusted you from the beginning.
But I was just pulling the strings.
We made a pact. I was doing your bidding.
I am the only true king.
Gave you my heart and soul.
Fell into my hands as you played the fool.
It was all a lie. It was all a lie.
It was always a lie.

It was always a lie. It was always a lie.
It was always a lie. It was always a lie.
