LYRICS:
*************************************************************************

Grant me a wish, my master, take heed of me
I have been loyal servant, heartfelt humble
Gave up what belongs to me, gave up my greed
My self-examination Made me see, to be me

I am now like Judas, done
Ashamed of what I've become
Fear for life I wear as a ring
To bask in your favour, I will kill the king

You say I am unbreakable, I cannot die
I know but anyway, the rods they maim me
Grant me a wish, my master, compassion, please
I'd like be a human maybe one day

I am now like Judas, done
Ashamed of what I've become
Fear of life I wear as a ring
To bask in your favour, I will kill the king

Entreaty: Let me go
Master, I hate you so
How can I sleep my nights
When my whole being cries

I tried to be like everyone, open my soul
But what I had to give, resulted loathing
Enchanted by the power, licked by the grace
One beautiful black flower, rhe end of the human race

With pride now face my faith
King and Queen now lie in state
Fear for life I wear as a ring
I bask in your favour, I have killed the king

Entreaty: Let me go
Master, I hate you so
How can I sleep my nights
When my whole being cries

I had a nightmare ,the wolf eating the raven
Entrails on life on my plate, and I ate them
Interested in what I see
Try that Rorschach test on me
Have you seen the beauty of the enticing beast

Entreaty: Let me go
Master, I hate you so
How can I sleep my nights
When my whole being cries

Entreaty: Let me go
Master, I hate you so
How can I sleep my nights
When my whole being cries
