my misery - the more things change lyrics

You said when that day came
Screams was all I'd hear
You said when that day would come
I'll know the sound of fear

And now you ask forgiveness
You ask for my respect
You beat upon me 'til I broke
Stripping, taking everything from me

Drain me of my power
Suck me of my strength
Strip me of my will to live
My soul you desecrate

And if it takes me dying
To make some history
Then unto you my suffering
Remember, forever, my misery

I was born to reign
Messiah of pain
Silencing the lies
Time for me to rise

Drain me of my power
Suck me of my strength
Strip me of my will to live
My soul you desecrate

Drain me of my power
Suck me of my strength
Strip me of my will to live
My soul you desecrate

And if it takes me dying
To make some history
Then unto you my suffering
Remember, forever, my misery
