and death lay in my arms as colors fade

from gold to gray

gray now broken my foolishness displayed

hands tight around her throat this violent loving embrace

lying

Let them hail the hollow one

Bow before the damned

Forge ahead into the night

Forget the lessons of the past

No remorse for the sinner

No repent

you face me in silence and hope is in your eyes

unspoken yet pleading you wait for my reply

alone

I secretly crave, crave that scent again

Still feel lit pressing on me now

Now with the onset, my flesh is weakening

I steel my nerves

I can't show pain long for the days

When I am free to feel

I don't wan to lose everything

Just want to feel

Past it haunts again

The dream's alive

And forms the nightmare that has no end

Foreshadow all tomorrows

So this

I've watched the days pass

one by one until the fall of man

and seen the cynics feed the jaded

merely scraps

Into a strange new world, into the after

All your tears might find you've fallen too far

Take another look, take another ride

Can't

Eyes filled with hatred

When they fall upon me

You worship gods of violence and bigotry

Forgetting lessons learned that prove these

The wrong ideals

Don't

and now i recognize your face and my folly

for longer days and nights this strange redemption'

with
