The Refusal Lyrics

Dispensed abruptly
Into the twilight
I, the survivor
Destroyer of man

"Hear my calling
There's work to be done
Regather your strength and follow me,
My son"

"As you can see, we have made great progress
For the elimination of undeserving life"

This is not about humanity
I was promised tranquility

No! This cannot be my destiny
All the blood on my hands has consumed all hope inside of me

"You heretic! Have you no scrap of remaining loyalty?!
Remember our quest, regather yourself, and follow me!"

No! I must be free!

"FREE?!"
FREE!

Free from this shadow that plagues my existence
Before your wretched quest immolates the sky

"You will pay for your lack of progress!
Your disposal awaits!"

"Can you not see that you are a blessing:
a gift with a great responsibility?
You and I are one and your life is in my hands so how dare you not act accordingly!
Now's your last chance, and in your next breath, may you choke up your dishonesty!
You are but a vessel, a puppet, and if you won't kill for me then here, you will die!"

I am not a god
I am not a man
I am a being of light
I cannot die!

"Can it be?! That a creature can deny a deity?! Dethroned from my own galaxy..."

No! I will shape my own destiny
You are one with my soul and I've shackled you inside of me

"You heretic! Have you no faith or remaining empathy?!
Remember my gift, have mercy, and let me be!"

You must not be free!
