This song is about the battle from within to except our demons. To take responsibility for the darkness inside. It's a case of Dr. Jeykl and Mr. Hyde.
lyrics
I am the one that you see when your time has come, I am the one that you see when your time has come.
I’ll take your pain and your suffering, all from your insanity to your misery I am the one.
I am the one that your feel when you can’t escape, you can’t escape your own thoughts and feelings.
You will submit to me, I’ll take you pain and set you free.
I am your darkened soul, I am the one that you seek when you’ve lost control.
I am your darkened soul, I am the only god that you’ll ever now.
I am the one that you feel when insanity’s got you by the throat, pull the rope tight, don’t worry it’ll be alright. I will be there when you fall, into the flames, you’ll cry out my name.
I AM YOUR own mind. YOU THINK, I only exist on the outside, I am the charred insides of your own desire, you smoke the black fire, igniting my spirit, take me higher.
Take a look inside of your eyes, in your retina you’ll see the fire, I am inside of you, always here when you need a good liar.
I am your darkened soul, I am your darkened soul, I am your own mind, all you need to do is take a look INSIDE.
