To Lose A Soul
By: Aleksei Dubov
The germ welds into my flesh
My body moves against my will
Whatever I think I cannot do
My mind strays down a foreign path
I grieve for what is lost as I hate what I've become
I would rather die than live this life of lies
My arm moves
My soul rebels
All for Naught
Resistance is Futile
Inside I must cry
As outside friends die
By this hand of mine
Whose control I cannot deign
Susceptible to suggestion
All they say I must do
No will of my own
Not that I can use
The germ welds into my flesh
My body moves against my will
Whatever I think I cannot do
My mind strays down a foreign path
I grieve for what is lost as I hate what I've become
I would rather die than live this life of lies
Every man fights
Yet all struggle alone
For none can aid another
When each as an enemy of his own
The disease stripped us of ourselves
We are pawns of the Lords
Each as meaningless as the next
Eventually, perhaps, all may be gone
Any identity is lost
Hidden deep inside
No one cares who you are
It'll hurt more when you die
The germ welds into my flesh
My body moves against my will
Whatever I think I cannot do
My mind strays down a foreign path
I grieve for what is lost as I hate what I've become
I would rather die than live this life of lies
Unable to control my actions
I become a vassal of my enemy
My only choice to let my soul leave
To become a mindless machine
The change happens gradually
I fight less and less
Numbing myself to the pain
Nothing matters anymore
A great chasm opens in my mind
My soul slowly slips inside
The cavern closes quietly with time
Leaving a worthless void behind
The germ welds into my flesh
My body moves against my will
Whatever I think I cannot do
My mind strays down a foreign path
I grieve for what is lost as I hate what I've become
I would rather die than live this life of lies
