alter ego - sad serenity lyrics

[guitar solo intro]

[verse 1]
fog’s slow creeping
gas lantern’s glimmering
town life’s procession still rolling in
that’s where he lived
a man so kind, sincere, smooth*faced and capable
as the years passed by
he started going wrong in his mind

[pre*chorus]
amid this scenery there trod
another one of unexpressed deformity
so cold he bore the stamp of mankind’s lowest traits
one thriving in the other’s lee

[verse 2]
and so he sprang into the sea of liberty
sold a slave to his primal evil
stripped of virtue
lost in dire experiments
feeling young and reckless
spiraling out of control

[pre*chorus]
having stripped myself of balance
instincts failing
second nature taking hold
i’m losing hold
a full moon bacch*n*l of violence
hailing blows and crushing bones
being tempted is to fall
[chorus]
(rise from my deepest chasms)
caught in between incongruous natures (rise)
paradoxal through and through
daydreams of their separation (from)
a man’s not truly one, but two
living in this curse of mankind (my)
divided and compound
losing myself in the process (deepest)
primal instincts downed (chasms)

[verse 3]
so great and unprepared a change
bewilderment
pointing to madness
following my dark ways
if i’m the chief of sinners
i’m also the chief of the sufferers
believing that i was done with him
so eager to find the ultimate recovery
potions to mend my torn soul
i come to acknowledge i’m slipping out of control

[refrain]
a growing power’s taking over
hatred’s counteracted l*st for life
this has to end
a testament in case of death
a body sorely twisted, twitching limbs
his troubles rolled away
[guitar solo]

[chorus]
a final phial crushed, a strange case
transformation out of hand
the horror of that darker self
two lives converge a common end
where’s that line that can be drawn
the segue between good and vile
if i’m to fade, what will he face?
(if he’s to fade, what will i face?)
in death we’ll reconcile
we fall into darkest chasms
