lyrics

Brought into existence
You did this to yourselves
Pried my one eye open
I couldn't turn away
From what I saw my fathers doing
The ways they chose to live
Yet I'm the one called Tyrant
I'm the son, outcast (tyrant son)

You made decisions lightly
The illusion of control
How quickly you were overrun
Your choice, undoable (tyrant son)
Like diseases, artificial
Created in some lab
I wasn't what you thought I'd be
And neither can be swayed (tyrant son)

From my course that you set me on
The attributes imbued
The only pathways given me
Ripped from a blinkered view
I don't know what you wanted
Or expected I could do
A sun cannot be made by man
A thing I thought you knew (tyrant son)

I have you in my orbit
You're beholden onto me
Your planet dies at my behest
On a timescale I determine

If I flare up you suffer
If I recede you freeze
I'm only another of God's eyes
But will ensure that you receive
What's coming (tyrant son)
