Cruel

The pain you create
The joy it generates
Only scares the hell out of me
From a crazed descent
To manic torment
Will now and forever haunt my dreams
How can you see
How cruel I could be
But you'd do nothing to stop me
I could do whatever I please
A heartless beast
Prepared to feast
On those who perish beneath you
A god without love
Looking from above
To make those below tremble and fear you
How can you see
How cruel I could be
But you'd do nothing to stop me
I could do whatever I please
Endless amounts of power
To spend every hour
With punishment and pain for everyone
Sinner or child-of-god
No one is spared the rod
Discipline to each and everyone
How can you see
How cruel I could be
But you'd do nothing to stop me
I could do whatever I please
Yet you oversee
Our insane cruelty
What would it have to be
For the divine to intervene
