elegy - savage grace lyrics

[music: henk van der laars & dirk bruinenberg]
[lyrics & vocal melody: ian parry]

having taken a path of no return, he develops a personality of power,
and turns supreme manipulation into an art form.
on the surface he portrays a person being of caring and consideration,
while his dark side hides calmly, until the moment of truth can appear.

[verse]
full of charm, so open minded
lets you talk 'till you're blue in the face
compassion sincere
his own portrayal, the proud example to others
when in fact, a covenant he's made
with the dark side of hell

[bridge]
wait! don't be fooled by him
stop! don't go near him
his appearance can change, like the chameleon

[chorus]
we're all his helpless subjects
and like his damaged toys
once they're of no importance
with savage grace destroys

[verse]
so supreme, a master to many
an' acts like a friend, offers comfort to all
patiently, telling wild fabrications
gaining your trust the thrill, the thrill of it all

[repeat bridge & chorus]

get ready to run!
