Let me speak let me spit out my bitterness[00:00:01]

Born of grief and nights without sleep and festering flesh[00:00:13]

You Do have eyes[00:00:26]

Can you see like mankind sees[00:00:31]

Why have you soured and curdled me[00:00:38]

Oh you tireless watcher what have i done to you[00:00:50]

That you make everything i dread and everything i fear come true[00:01:01]

Once i was blessed; i was awaited like the rain[00:01:17]

Like eyes for the blind like feet for the lame[00:01:28]

Kings heard my words and they sought out my company[00:01:41]

But now the janitors of shadowland their flick brooms at me[00:01:51]

Oh you tireless watcher what have i done to you[00:02:05]

That you make everything i dread and everything i fear come true[00:02:17]

Antagonists: man is the sire of sorrow[00:02:24]

I've lost all taste for life[00:02:40]

I'm all complaints[00:02:43]

Tell me why do you starve the faithful[00:02:46]

Why do you crucify the saints[00:02:50]

And you let the wicked prosper[00:02:56]

You let their children frisk like deer[00:02:58]

And my loves are dead or dying or they don't come near[00:03:04]

We don't despise your chastening[00:03:11]

God is correcting you[00:03:15]

Oh and look who comes to counsel my deep distress[00:03:17]

Oh these pompous physicians[00:03:28]

What carelessness[00:03:33]

Oh all this ranting all this wind[00:03:35]

Filling our ears with trash[00:03:39]

Breathtaking ignorance adding insult to injury[00:03:42]

They come blaming and shaming[00:03:53]

Evil doer[00:03:57]

And shattering me[00:03:58]

This vain man wishes to seem wise[00:04:00]

A man born of asses[00:04:05]

Oh you tireless watcher what have i done to you[00:04:07]

That you make everything i dread and everything i fear come true[00:04:17]

We don't despise your chastening[00:04:25]

Already on a bed of sighs and screams [00:04:41]

And still you torture me with visions[00:04:47]

You give me terrifying dreams[00:04:51]

Better i was carried from the womb to straight the grave[00:04:57]

I see the diggers waiting they're spadesleaning on their [00:05:06]

Man is the sire of sorrow[00:05:11]

Sure as the sparks ascend[00:05:15]

Where is hope you're while wondering what went wrong[00:05:19]

Why give me light and then this dark without a dawn[00:05:31]

Evil is sweet in your mouth[00:05:37]

Hiding under your tongue[00:05:41]

Show your face[00:05:44]

What a long fall from grace[00:05:46]

Help me understand[00:05:49]

What is the reason for your heavy hand[00:05:56]

You're stumbling in shadows[00:06:02]

You have no name now[00:06:05]

Was it the sins of my youth[00:06:07]

What have i done to you[00:06:14]

That you make everything i dread and everything i fear come true[00:06:18]

Oh your guilt must weigh so greatly[00:06:26]

Everything i dread and everything i fear come true[00:06:32]

Man is the sire of sorrow[00:06:39]

Oh you make everything i dread and everything i fear come true[00:06:44]
