Joining

©1994 by Steve Macdonald


This is another song written for TorontoTrek, the lyric taken from the 'villain' point of view. The point of the song is to explore the feeling of needing something so much that you steal your dream; rather than earning it. In this case, the villain is broken by his actions, and is reflected here.

I am a lonely man
Single and unique
Destined for a greater life
Much deeper, more complete.
Joining is and always was
The reason to exist
I was a contented man
'Til they dropped me from their list-

Who do you think you are?
Telling me I won't get far?
Saying I was meant to be happy
All alone.
Who do you think you are?
I'm unacceptable- now it's war.
I am destined to be Joined.
I am destined to be Joined.

I was sent away
Banished from Desire.
Told to be content
But my need burns ever higher.
There is my One
At a lonely far off post.
Now wait for the proper time
To force my way to Host.

Who do you think you are?
Telling me I won't get far?
Saying I was meant to be happy
All alone.
Who do you think you are?
I'm unacceptable- now it's war.
I am destined to be Joined.
I was destined to be Joined.

Memory, Knowledge
Seven lifetimes deep.
All here, all mine
Now the Guest is mine to keep.
I need for no one
I can even lie.
I'll fly through the galaxy
I'm Joined now 'til I die.

Who do you think you are?
Telling me I won't get far?
Saying I was meant to be happy
All alone.
Who do you think you are?
You told me no, but I won the war.
I was destined to be Joined.
I was destined to be Joined.

Betrayal, deadly pain
Done to me by friends.
I was complete then
Now the pain will never end.
I was so full then
And oh, so empty now-
But I can't quite remember
All gone- I'm not sure how.

Who do you think you are?
Telling me I won't get far?
Saying I was meant to be happy
All alone.
Who do you think you are?
You told me no, but I won the war.
I was destined to be Joined.
I was destined to be Joined.
