Let me speak, let me spit out my bitterness Born of grief and nights without sleep and festering flesh you Do have eyes Can you see like mankind sees Why have you soured and curdled me Oh you tireless watcher! what have i done to you That you make everything i dread and everything i fear come true Once i was blessed; i was awaited like the rain Like eyes for the blind, like feet for the lame Kings heard my words, and they sought out my company But now the janitors of shadowland their flick brooms at me Oh you tireless watcher what have i done to you That you make everything i dread and everything i fear come true antagonists: man is the sire of sorrow I've lost all taste for life I'm all complaints Tell me why do you starve the faithful Why do you crucify the saints And you let the wicked prosper You let their children frisk like deer And my loves are dead or dying, or they don't come near we don't despise your chastening God is correcting you Oh and look who comes to counsel my deep distress Oh, these pompous physicians What carelessness oh all this ranting all this wind Filling our ears with trash Breathtaking ignorance adding insult to injury They come blaming and shaming evil doer And shattering me this vain man wishes to seem wise A man born of asses Oh you tireless watcher! what have i done to you That you make everything i dread and everything i fear come true we don't despise your chastening Already on a bed of sighs and screams, And still you torture me with visions You give me terrifying dreams Better i was carried from the womb to straight the grave I see the diggers waiting, they're spadesleaning on their man is the sire of sorrow Sure as the sparks ascend Where is hope you're while wondering what went wrong Why give me light and then this dark without a dawn evil is sweet in your mouth Hiding under your tongue Show your face what a long fall from grace Help me understand What is the reason for your heavy hand you're stumbling in shadows You have no name now Was it the sins of my youth What have i done to you That you make everything i dread and everything i fear come true oh your guilt must weigh so greatly Everything i dread and everything i fear come true man is the sire of sorrow Oh you make everything i dread and everything i fear come true
