Leave Scars - Dark Angel

I  am  an  angel  of  darkness
Abhorrent  to  those  who  are  frail
The  strength  inside  me  is  my  will  to  believe
In  myself,  with  no  self-betrayal
My  force  is  my  own  preservation
My  destiny  mine  to  control
I  don't  live  my  life  to  be  judged  by  anyone
Surviving  intact  is  my  role

Lost  time  is  never  found  again
Screaming  through  my  life  of  speed  -  insanity,  mach  ten
I  utilize  the  life  I've  been  given
Or  else  it's  as  if  I've  never  been

I  take  pains  to  make  my  presence  known
If  it's  a  negative  impression  then  I'll  take  the  blame  alone
I  have  no  regrets  and  I  call  my  life  my  own
I  have  no  time  for  the  words  left  in  stone

I  acknowledge  only  one  thing;
My  own  authority
Answering  to  no  one,  I  leave  no  trace  of  pity
My  independence  rules  my  life
I  can't  help  what  you  are
For  this  I  won't  apologize
Because  I  leave  scars!!!
I  promise  you  agony
If  you  attempt  to  intervene
Just  pay  attention  to  yourself,  you're  barely  existing
I'm  thriving  on  the  life  I  lead
A  veteran  of  human  wars
For  this  I  won't  apologize...
Because  I  leave  scars!!!

I  practice  angelic  darkness
My  convictions  keep  wolves  from  my  door
I  know  what  it  means  to  have  someone  tamper  with  my  dreams
Deflowering  my  essence,  my  core
I  once  sought  no  recrimination
But  now  I  seek  the  price  be  paid
Forever  wary,  always  guarded  against  anyone
Who's  mistaken  me  for  easy  prey

Defeatist  attitudes  are  only  in  vain
As  you  wonder  of  my  species  -  must  I  really  be  explained?
Realize  now  that  I'm  ingrained
Knowingly,  forever  on  your  brain

Nemeses  falter  in  their  plebian  ways
Employing  methods  to  usurp  my  reign,  my  inner  maze
Seeking  clues  to  uncover  the  clever  turn  of
