Sacrifice of Servitude
Rivers of blood will wipe these London streets
Leading to one thing
Leading to me
I've done my duty
And I have done it well.
How many people, for you, have I sent to my own, reserved section of Hell?
I can't count them.
I'll never know.
The oldest there knew me while I was righteous
When I had my soul.
And the newest?
They'll never know!
They'll see me as hungry
They'll know me as lustful
They think that I am deranged
They think I am a monster--
But isn't that true?
Isn't that what I've been reduced to?
By your family's hand, isnt that all I am?
Kept in a cage,
Chained to the wall,
I await command.
And I follow through.
You know I do!
Don't insult what remains of my honour!
I do my part!
I sacrifice all that's left in this ancient, shriveled heart...
For you!
For your purpose!
I am bound to your family line and I will see it,
I will see everything through.
No, I do not despide you... You're the closest thing I have left to anything of life.
Mine has passed--
None of the lives I take can bring mine back.
But still, blood will run.
It will sweep these streets and fill me.
After so long serving, I must command.
I have been chained for far too long.
But you've set me free,
If even momentarily,
And I will relish in my actions,
And I will fill my need.
Because I need more power--
I never claimed to be void of greed--
But I need more power
To eliminate this threat.
And if that power comes from the blood of this city?
...Well, I haven't failed you yet.
Blood will run
And I will shriek
Because I am free in my blood gain
And I always do what is asked of me
Everything has let to this
Everything
It has always led to me
