Maelstrom - Call Me Sleeper

For centuries I have languished within the confines of this wretched storm Sealed away by my progenies who sought to usurp the throne As foretold - In my midst treachery seeded Unforeseen - The deeds of my seed bleed greed succeeded Sealed away None possess the might to slay Lead astray, betrayed Cast away, frayed And left to decay Blasphemous lies divulged with efficacy At the mercy of insidious spawn The unbeknownst crown soon a pawn "My liege, please heed these words of prophecy. The golden throne shall be seized by treachery The days of your rule have foregone." Blessed be the oracle's vision They have foreseen my demise Deeds of treason Thus I began purging perfidious ranks from my legions A creation to ensure my legacy Willing a consciousness into being Manufacturing the means to my eternal rule Compressed memories and accumulated knowledge of centuries Converged into a flourishing vessel Artificial, autonomous, yet intertwined The gleaming tesseract primed Replication of the divine contents that lay within my mind In my absence it shall wake Rise to retake in fervent state Decimate those who dared to displace Hastily summoned by my generals To distant stars Unveiling their ethereal phenomena Planetary rings Several of my spawn joined ranks with thee Once trusted advisor turned adversary The words you spoke as prophecy Foreshadowed this act of treachery Unsheathed to claim the hides of heretics Crimson rings will adorn your throats Blood becomes mist as I claim the first of the iniquitous Perniciousness will be your demise Suddenly seized by cyclonic force Sins of his seed were the only source Altercation would be their downfall And thus they created a celestial squall Paralyzed by the insurrection Deprived of the verdant mind in my possession Chain upon chain of magnetism confines me to this maelstrom prison These distant memories replay obsessively hauntingly daunting my sanity My immortality staves off fatality And when I finally break free of This exiled sentencing There will be a reckoning

Took a ride on the ocean, started swimming out Lost sight of land, time ran out Arms getting heavy, exhaustion's setting in Waves getting bigger, life's getting thin My brain was screaming My mind said, no My mouth was bleeding Said you gotta all go, hey Hit the high side monster wave Buried at sea in an early grave Free fall dive, thousand feet pit Cliffs of water turning adrenochrome hit, hip, hip Death like animals, death of slaves Death of humans getting sucked away Ships, trucks and planes, million screaming heads Agonized moaning from the island of the dead, hey I'm going down into maelstrom Baby, I'm going down into maelstrom Going down, gonna drown, going down, gonna drown Gonna take your hand Alive, alive, alive Alive, alive, alive Alive, alive, alive Alive, alive, alive Alive, alive, alive Alive, alive
