End

5. INVERTED THRONE

Spirit, released.

Lyrics:  

"Open your mind, be brutally true,
Haven’t you sought shortcuts, done what you had to do?
Lies in the mirror, grandeur on display,
You wear your crown, and throw the guilt away.
No compassion, no empathy, no chains,
This is the freedom that flows in your veins.
Emptiness reigns, but still you rise,
Chasing the power you keep in disguise.

Surrounded by fire, riding the flame,
The lion bows down, but who’s really tamed?
Justice you seek, but you don’t feel a thing,
It’s all for the thrill of the fire’s sting.

Taste the desire, then cast it aside,
Life is a battle, and you love the ride.
The world may fear the flames you embrace,
But contempt and care, in you, leave a trace.

Stand with the broken, the beaten, the lost,
But deep in your heart, you know there’s a cost.
Life’s lustful pull, you conquer it all,
Taking the climb, embracing the fall.
The instinctive retreat, they can’t stand the heat,
But you charge forward, never admitting defeat.
Beneath that gaze, a scorn for mankind,
Yet contradiction shows, you’re not so blind."
