โย i choose something different. i choose the impossible. i chooseโฆ rapture. ย โ
โย now youโve rattled the monkey cage. here they come.ย โ
โย what excuse do we have not to sculpt, and sculpt, and sculpt, until the job is done?ย โ
โย what if now it is not my skill that fails me but my imagination?ย โ
โย chin up, now. the lord hates a quitter.ย โ
โย iโm here to show you a new kind of beauty.ย โ
โย the path of the righteous is not always easy, yes?ย โ
โย the reward will become clear in time: be patient.ย โ
โย whichever way you slice it, good men died.ย โ
โย i thought this would be a better life for us. can you imagine a bigger fool than that?ย โ
โย if you press that button, youโll learn what it means to truly be my enemy.ย โ
โย you ooze in like an assassin and then try to sneak out like a thief.ย โ
โย thereโs two ways to deal with the mystery: uncover it, or eliminate it.ย โ
โย i come to this place to build the impossible.ย โ
โย thatโll take you straight to the devil himself. and then all debts will be paid in full.ย โ
โย so there are no innocents. there are heroes, and there are criminals.ย โ
โย who says you canโt teach an old hound new tricks?ย โ
โย i believe in no god, no invisible man in the sky.ย โ
โย even in the gathering dark, you light a candle.ย โ
โย i feelโฆ hatred, like iโve never felt before, in my chest. bitter, burning fury.ย โ
โย the artist has a duty to seduce the ear and delight the spirit.ย โ
โย who could hate me so much theyโd ruin me like this? what did i do to them?ย โ
โย if you canโt come in from the cold, then you gotta grow ice over your heart.ย โ
โย youโre not a mothโฆ youโre an angel. iโve never painted an angelโฆ maybe i should!ย โ
โย you give them hope. and for this, i am grateful.ย โ
โย i donโt need to be judged by youโฆ by anyoneโฆ screw you!ย โ
โย i havenโt chosen a spot for you on the wall yet. let me know if you have a preference.ย โ
โย if i have to kill one to save the other, so be it.ย โ
โย thank you for reminding me that the light of the world has not yet been snuffed off.ย โ
โย itโs about who can become less of a man and more of a monster.ย โ
โย imagine the will it took to create a place like this.ย โ
โย is there blood in the streets? of course.ย โ
โย the great chain moves slowly, but with wisdom.ย โ
โย as you drag me closer to the abyss, you pull yourself right along with me.ย โ
โย i offer you a quick death. it will be preferable to what you will learn if you win.ย โ
โย think about it for a second, and maybe the word will come to you: nostalgia!ย โ
โย mark my words โ your only reward will be a knife in the back.ย โ
โย my strength is not in steel and fire, but in my intellect and will.ย โ
โย in the end, all that matters to me โ is me. and all that matters to you โ is you.ย โ
โย even in the book of lies, sometimes you find truth.ย โ
โย a season for all things: a time to live, and a time to die.ย โ
โย a man chooses. a slave obeys.ย โ
โย you know what they sayโฆ never mix business with friendship.ย โ
โย kills me to turn my fist to you, but business is business. donโt let it get you down.ย โ
โย they say to save one life is to save the world entire.ย โ
โย now thereโs nothing left for you but a long cold nothing.ย โ
โย you know, you should be thanking me! i brought you here! i showed you who you are!ย โ
โย nobody never told you nothing but lies till i came along!ย โ
โย iโd turn tail if i were you, kid. ainโt nothinโ here for you but tears.ย โ
โย to question is to surrender. i will not question.ย โ
โย they offered you the cityโฆ and you refused it. and what did you do instead?ย โ
โย you saved them. you gave them the one thing that was stolen from them. a chance.ย โ
โย and what was your reward? you never said. but i think i knowโฆ a family.ย โ
โย would you kindly?ย โ
