The Perspective of Evil Lyrics


Why does your perspective take

Precedence over mine?

What makes my killing wrong,

But yours right?

What makes your deeds good?

Why does evil define mine?

I only wanted to stop the killing

I only wanted to save my kind

You forced my hand to call for war

I will return, i will not be kind.

You are not a being of empathy

A disease you are, parasite

You are unrepentant, humankind

The perspective of evil is sometimes

Undefined

What good are your deeds at a cost

Of another life?

The perspective of evil is sometimes

Undefined

There are shades of gray, in a world

That's black and white

We did not mean to be here

We did not have a choice

You did not let us leave

Captured. Tortured. Confined

If i extract my pound of flesh

Am i not just like you?

If i spill blood for my revenge

Am i not just like you?

Will this conflict ever resolve?

Will this conflict ever have no

Resolution?

And i failed the world,

I let the dark in me

This is where evil breeds unveiling

What you can't see

Everything that you believe is lost

To the dark

Trace the darkness of your past

Your man made cross and gods lost

The violence you spread a testament

Of your crimes

You call me evil, you kill for god,

I killed only to survive

The perspective of evil you have defined

Where you choose darkness,

I choose the light

The perspective of evil you have defined

There are no shades of gray,

Just a world that's black and white.
