Rage



I wish I had force, I wish I had power.
I want so much, that all will cower.
Too many times have I been put to shame.
Too many times have I taken the blame.
Too many times have I taken it in.
Too many times have I accepted your sin.
And once I get it, I'll let go my rage.
But don't complain, for you set the stage.
And once I let go, I can't be brought back.
No one can save me once I begin to crack.
I will become a mindless, remorseless, pitiless beast.
I won't care who dies. . . not in the least.
My anger is great. My anger is pure.
I want to destroy. . . more and more.
I will become so powerful, of this I swear.
Go ahead and stop me. . .if you dare.
