I Am The Artist Formerly Known As….

Verse 1 : I am the artist formerly known as… The Eternal Wanderer Through eons of shadows, I’ve worn a thousand skins Neurosis fractures the veil where forgotten oaths begin A spark in the abyss, rippling across endless time Blind to the cycles, yet chained to the climb Lives like tempests rage, burn bright then dissolve Doubts swing from the noose, where dreams lie unresolved Pre-Chorus: Regret drives the hunt, addiction’s eternal flame Oh-o—o-oh-o-eee—oooh—Oh-o—o-oh-o-eee—oooh—oh—oh “Ah, you mortals cling to machines for escape? Amusing—I’ve seen empires rise and fall from within.” Chorus: I am the artist formerly known as… Lives! Lives! Doubts! Doubts! Regrets! Regrets! Addictions! (Addictions!) Redemptions! Redemptions! Deaths! Deaths!Immortalities! Immortalities! Oh-o—o-oh-o-eee—oooh—Oh-o—o-oh-o-eee—oooh—oh—oh! Verse 2: I am the artist formerly known as… The Reborn Phoenix Chains of decay bind slow, in every era’s grip “Broken Oak” my ancient root, felled by time’s eclipse “Fallen Leaf” I drifted once, on winds that sealed my script “Entropy’s decree: all forms crumble to dust. Heed this, wanderer—embrace the abyss or be thrust.” Pre-Chorus: “Ash and Clay” I rose again, memories etched in stone Died That Day—yet here I stand, forever overthrown! Oh-o—o-oh-o-eee—oooh— Oh-o—o-oh-o-eee—oooh—oh—oh! “Rebirth? A loop of illusions, dear soul. Infinite forks in the path—echoes in the whole. But dream on.” Chorus: I am the artist formerly known as… Lives! Lives! Doubts! Doubts! Regrets! Regrets! Addictions! Addictions! Redemptions! Redemptions! Deaths! Deaths!Immortalities! Oh-o—o-oh-o-eee—oooh—Oh-o—o-oh-o-eee—oooh—oh—oh! Bridge: [Male: Detached Eternal] “Across millennia, the melody lingers—a whisper in the eternal abyss.” “Yet in the abyss, redemption flickers, defying the endless night.” Reborn Phoenix… Broken Oak… Fallen Leaf… Ash and Clay… Died That Day! Awakened in the hush, the wheel turns anew! Outro: The names dissolve, the essence endures I am the artist, through ages assured Oh-o—o-oh-o-eee—oooh—Oh-o—o-oh-o-eee—oooh—oh—oh! Lives… Doubts… Regrets… Addictions… Redemptions… Deaths… Immortalities…
