Burn me to ash and scatter my soul
I hear the old bones calling me home
The ghost of love has haunted me for so long
I've become lost in the fog of what could have been
Struggle as I may I cannot get free
The moon mother I once looked to has fallen
I'm not sure how much more of this I can take
I've tasted the blood of my fate
Is it possible for this to end
Future days are long past becoming
Every minute that goes gets me closer to the door
Raised my voice so many times I can't speak
Ancient scars cover me head to toe
I carry deep within me the pain of the ages
There is no future for me
I tire of wearing masks
The charade has to end soon before it consumes me
There is a time for games and toys
Such a time is so long past
The masks I wear are cracked and crumbling
My toys have grown rusty and fragile with age
Just please allow me this one chance
Let me go as I choose
I can't fly with the wings of an angel
Let me fly with the ashes of the dead
I'm coming back to earth at terminal velocity
I'm falling so hard from on high
I swear i won't end without leaving my mark
Highspeed heartache will bury me deep
The fractured soul that you can't mend
I'm gonna leave a scar within you all
I can't stop this decent
I'm too far gone for anyone to save
The evil that men do is reflected in my eyes
What good is a broken toy
I can feel the heat of re-entry searing me to the bone
This world wasn't made for me
I'm so close to crater
Your world will shudder from the impact of my end
I can't take the loss of this one
Life was my path
Death, my destination
My eyes are open wide
I breathe deep inhaling eternity
Maybe this fall will burn away what I've done...
I can't understand why you don't like me
Can't fathom why you deny me
Do you fear what I am
Thinking if you touch me you wil burn
You go right ahead and hate me
Love or hate me, atleast I know I'm on your mind
When you look at me do you see what you'll never be?
I can feel you trying to chew me away
You wanna blame all thats wrong with you on me and my kind
Touch too long and you'll be scarred for life
I may be a monster, a devil, a freak
I might be all that you fear and loathe
Atleast I can smile and know it's real
I can, I am, I do....
Close your eyes when you look my way
Don't let my darkness cover you
Please walk away that you may be free
Take nothing from your time with me
Remember only that you once touched despair
Recall the cold inside to save yourself the pain
I have to live with this every day
Pain is my penance
I choose to keep what I've made
Always own that which you create
Given the choice, don't suffer as I do
Run so far away that you can never be burned
To stay in my sight is to know hurt and misery
Please...Just Go...
I've seen the ending of all things
Such resolution brought a smile to my face
There seems to be no point in going further
As one chapter ends, so begins the next
I sought to remake myself
Looked to turn my blood to wine
Is there a point to all this
Run this race like a rat in a maze
I'm sick of running
Tired of being put through these paces
Kill me to force a smile
Take me away to the finish line
Forever...
Such a simple word yet it implies so much
This one small word is permenance
It is reliability
Strength and stability
Forever is meant to be endless
Stronger than stone or steel
More lasting than flesh and bone
This word meant so much to me once
How can it be tossed so freely in my face
Love comes and goes like the tides
Forever was supposed to last
Beyond what was and what is
Past all physical boundaries
What am I supposed to do in the end
How do I go on
After Forever...
Wake up now or fall away
Crash headlong into the wall
Take the sin you've sown
Eat it whole
Take the long walk
You know you'll never come back
Such a long and dusty road
Should you stay the path or stray
Gallows call
Keep your smile
Laugh to hide the pain
Broken by the world that bore you
I've made you this way
Yes it's me
I came to you in your need
I promised salvation
Just came to see you bleed
You can't cry now because of me
Hold all your pain inside
I hope it poisons you
I'm the nothingface
Look up to me and beg
I make you want me here
You will never make me leave
When they look at you they can only see me
What you were is what I'm going to be
I am the sum of your sin
I'm You...
Look into my heart and see her there
I was dead as dead can be
She came in the darkness and brought me out
She who lives by the stream
Judged and vindicated is her soul
She came to me as a child of darkness
She has shown me her inner light
Such severe beauty forces me to bow
Her presence inspires me to soar
Her voice has brought me to new horizons
The thought of her spurs me to betterment
The monster I see in me she fears not
She is mother to many
Cognatio Animus
She of many names
Letalis Votum...
Bang, dead in my head
Crash, break my bones
Burn, damage is done
Strap down, hold me
I scream, my heart
Don't know, my mind
Cover me, dirty lie
Bury me, body gone
Look at me, go away
Nothing left, fear is gone
Stay with me, pray
Come undone, deep inside
Say the words, heal me
Infected blood, are you inside
Killing time, Can't do this alone
Pressure, rising
Tear away, me from me
Take me, end times here
How does a man truly know what he is
Is it something he just feels
They say he is to stand strong through all
He is supposed to be the pillar that withstands
A primal force within the hurricane
What would happen if this man were to fall
Would his world crumble without foundation
Does he not deserve to bend
Whats to be done should he break
Who would be there to rebuild
To brace this weary hero
Would you turn and run
Just like all the rest
Will you allow yourelf to fall as he does
