Creature and I Lyrics

Under dominant influences
Misled by an invisible force
Creeping to the ancient mirror, I saw

The image of a red-horned creature
Surrounded by a dark presence
Not from this side, rather beyond the glass

It feels as it's crowded in here
But I am all alone, no reason to be scared
The pride that I am strong, no need for help is about to fail

My body-skin, my outer shell
Is about to boil, I have reached the limit for melting
Not used to see myself like this

Is this becoming my reality
When I go my own way, but the evil I think I saw
Is he real? 'Cause the creature was me!

Empty expressions no more
Flames lit my eyes, make my grin to a weapon
I am alive, not buried in failure
Not dying, I'm the first borned lightbringer

My body-skin, my outer shell
Is about to boil, I have reached the limit for melting
Not used to see myself like this

Is this becoming my reality
When I go my own way, but the evil I think I saw
Is he real? 'Cause the creature was me!

Is this my reality or is this just a dreadful dream
I must have dreamed this, this can't be real

Taken beyond, what's now
Into a parallel world
Where I am something else
Into a world where I am accepted
Travelled through mistakes and deficiencies
Into a world where my sins are sanctified

No guidance
No tears inside
No need that I have to give
No solitude, I'm not alone
The creature and I are entwined

Enchanted by my own morbid deeds
I can rest in that I don't need others to feel whole
In nocturnal escapades, we work in the shade of you
From early hour to evening fall
