[Requiem] - Noise

Mikhail's beginning, in a classic rock stylee.

No game, no play,
Not a flicker of smile,
she barely has time to blink.
There's not one cruel bone
In the bastard's corpse,
As he tears out her throat and drinks.

But for me there's cruelty,
Punishment in spades,
The worst he can devise.
For I am judged wicked
By the righteous dead,
Eternity my punishing prize.

Noise in my head,
Noise in my veins,
The melody fades,
But the noise remains.
Send me to the fishes
In a lead sarong,
Smother me in silence
But the noise goes on.

Days are meant for sleeping,
Nights for getting on,
That makes sense to me.
But these nights are one long
Lesson in tedium,
It's not something I can be.

'Cause he says bow down,
Know th'art damned,
Driving to Hell, every tick and tock.
But all I know is the noise in my head,
That keeps me from my studies,
'Cause I just wanna rock!

Noise in my head,
Noise in my veins,
The melody fades,
But the noise remains.
Send me to the fishes
In a lead sarong,
Smother me in silence
But the noise goes on.

So he said to the world,
Take my ungrateful spawn,
Do as you please 'cause he won't be good for nothing.
Take a look around,
At the church and state,
Talking pretty big but they ain't sayin' a thing.

Feudal spirit,
Anarchic rage,
Sacred damnation or a crazy pagan way.
They tell me their stories,
But all I hear,
Is the noise behind what they say.

Noise in my head,
Noise in my veins,
The melody fades,
But the noise remains.
Send me to the fishes
In a lead sarong,
Smother me in silence
But the noise goes on.

When I found science,
Didn't seem much chance,
It was gonna be any better for me.
But they sent me North
To a frozen realm,
To learn another way to be.

A brutal mentor
And a world of pain,
Ice and stone and suffering sublime,
Finding my centre,
Finding my strength,
The noise goes on, but the noise is mine.

Noise in my head,
Noise in my veins,
The melody fades,
But the noise remains.
Send me to the fishes
In a lead sarong,
Smother me in silence
But the noise goes on.
