Pawn

This is a song I wrote when I was sixteen. It's still one of my favorites, if not my favorite song I've written. I would love to rework it and add a bit more someday. It just feels heartbreaking to do so after all this time. But i'll get over that one day, lol. Enjoy :)

Pawn

I came to you 

In your dreams 

And showed you worlds 

Unimaginable 

I twisted your reality 

To make it mine 

Now you sit 

In the palm of my hand 

I took over you 

Now you are mine 

Mine to play with. 

I took over you 

Now you mine 

Mine to control.

Breaking your mind
A shattered soul of your past
You crumbled beneath
My might and will
Under pain and torture
You were reshaped
A perfect vessel
For a grand plan.

I took over you
Now you are mine
Mine to play with.
I took over you
Now you are mine
Mine to control.

In your waking 

You were bound to me 

You did my bidding 

With a wave of my hand
A small word escaped
The sound "Master" 

Becoming my slave 

You were at my command 

I took over you 

Now you are mine 

Mine to play with. 

I took over you 

Now you are mine 

Mine to control 

Not even seeing 

How you've lost your free will 

Thinking it's love 

But you're just 

A pawn in my plan 

Making it real 

I took over you 

Now you mine 

Mine to play with. 

I took over you 

Now you are mine 

Mine to control 

In my head, it has very Gothic, old hymn style music with a hard rock twist to it. To me, it sounds both elegant and edgy. One of these days i'll at least bring myself to record my vocals of it. I wish I had the skills to compose the music though. Vocals alone just don't do it justice.

I realize I forgot to mention something about this song. I wrote it from the perspective of the one in control, obviously, but I imagine it being sung to me while I'm in a deep sleep with my new Master is "reprogramming" me. I was thinking of my high school boy friend at the time.
