Black Shadow Phoenix - Taken

Waking up
In the circus of chaos
Absence of faith
Next move how you play this
Screams loud under a shroud
So malicious
Wait a minute
Convoluted, suspicious
Circle back
Through the family connection
Fall into that
False sense of protection
The portraits a lie
It hangs in the wind
Runs deep in your veins
You created your sin
Blackened by greed
Of your sick twisted need
Can never take back
All you've discarded of me
You took all the smiles
And filled it with violence
Blood runs thick
On the floor now in silence
What do you see
When you look in those eyes
An empty vial
Where this child hides
What do you see
When you look in those eyes
Fallen tears of a child's disguise

Taken into the Lion's den
And forsaken
Firm hand
A power play of rejection
Taken into the Lion's den
And forsaken
Stood by and watched
You're so mistaken
Taken into the Lion's den
And forsaken
Firm hand
A power play of rejection
Taken into the Lion's den
And forsaken
Stood by and watched
You're so mistaken

Walking tall
Survival a need
Hunting the demons
To set you free
Absence of anything
Clouded can't see
Holding strong
To your sanity
Screaming so loud
Lost in the crowd
Circle back
Through the bastard shroud
A riveting shock
Like some cocaine hostage
Time distorts
This fucked up montage
What do you see
When you look in those eyes
An empty vial
Where this child hides
What do you see
When you look in those eyes
Fallen tears of a child's disguise

Taken into the Lion's den
And forsaken
Firm hand
A power play of rejection
Taken into the Lion's den
And forsaken
Stood by and watched
You're so mistaken
Taken into the Lion's den
And forsaken
Firm hand
A power play of rejection
Taken into the Lion's den
And forsaken
Stood by and watched
You're so mistaken

Innocence falls
At the hand of the provider
Emptiness
Her dissonant divider
Nothin to call your own
As you opened up
And you sold your soul
A loose cannon
For any cheap action
To feel any love
And a moments satisfaction
Impulsive
Headfucked & diseased
How many times you crawled In the dirt on your knees
Another body murdered
On your hands
You don't care
Narcissistic
Shallow beware
Blood stains the trail
Your personal nightmare
Go back to your tricks
And your vacant stare

Taken into the Lion's den
And forsaken
Firm hand
A power play of rejection
Taken into the Lion's den
And forsaken
Stood by and watched
You're so mistaken
Taken into the Lion's den
And forsaken
Firm hand
A power play of rejection
Taken into the Lion's den
And forsaken
Stood by and watched
You're so mistaken
