Confrontations With A Ghost
from Ancient by White Arms of Athena
about
A song from a recoding session in 2007.
lyrics
A phone call stops the process, he puts his utensils down.
The voice states, "Something went wrong.
We can't send them back. They're coming for you."
I am a victim of my own creation.
The operators are of flesh and blood, but they bare no intelligence.
Soon enough, I'll get what I deserve. The longer, the better.
I knew no good could come of this.
Greed controls even the strongest of men.
The beam above my head fails, and they fall through
leaving nothing in their wake.
And as my top is torn from my bottom, no shrieks or screams.
Justice.
Retribution is why I created them.
Retribution is what I created.
The voice states, "Something went wrong.
We can't send them back. They're coming for you."
I am a victim of my own creation.
The operators are of flesh and blood, but they bare no intelligence.
Soon enough, I'll get what I deserve. The longer, the better.
I knew no good could come of this.
Greed controls even the strongest of men.
The beam above my head fails, and they fall through
leaving nothing in their wake.
And as my top is torn from my bottom, no shrieks or screams.
Justice.
Retribution is why I created them.
Retribution is what I created.
