Ancient Hysteria Lyrics

Long ago in a distant land

I, Aku, shapeshifting master of darkness

Unleashed an unspeakable evil!

I can see the pain in your eyes

Ancient hysteria crosses my mind

Define my existence as madness on a fence

Exploring salvation through a soft recompense

Compensate for a lack of idea with movement

Specifically unclear, an altercation without event

I am sent to the place they call purging hell

And while I swim through the water, eels whisper and tell me

Of a land thought to be a fantastic little story

Figures from the past claiming to know my future history

A misdemeanor or is it a federal offense?

Capital punishment for lies and a sense

Of salvation but nothing was ever true in the end

No love lost, nothing mattered, the truth can always bend

I'd like to spend some time and send my thoughts in line

Walking lasciviously, stalking, talking about crime

The theft of a neutral world; hostile companion

Friendly musings betray innocence as I stand in

Waters and ponds full of blood, pus, and boils

Living as though everything was a reason

Exploring the spirit of the universe's treason

And so it was a force, forcing me to see

That I had been living as blind as I could be

But now I am aware, awakened all too well

All the agony endured has forsaken the spell

Has lifted the curse that has plagued all my light

The blindness fades as I regain my sight

Tonight, well, now is never too soon

I turn my eye to the sky and send love to the moon
