Petition

I prefer to think of him as a man of many means
Of powers extreme, exposed to the extreme
Nature so determined, he may never change his mind
The only possible excuse for pretending to be blind

Petition for a life unknown to all my predecessors shown
No, oh
Petition for a life unknown to all my predecessors shown
No, oh

I can't know the why of this, his motives are mysterious
His anger extreme, exposed to the extreme
I see a hidden past, my memories, they don't go back
Enough to remember what I'm supposed to lack

Petition for a life unknown to all my predecessors shown
No, oh
Petition for a life unknown to all my predecessors shown
No, oh

For those who've never had, you keep coming back
You take, take, take away 'til the very last
For those who've never had, you keep coming back
You take, take, take away 'til the very last

Petition for a life unknown to all my predecessors shown
No, oh
Petition for a life unknown to all my predecessors shown
No, oh
Petition for a life unknown to all my predecessors shown
No, oh
