Flames of Malice

Lost together in the ether Forces working their ways for us Lasting affair of the ages Idolizing the way we were You and I won't fade away I no longer fear The looming dark overhead We can not be hurt Guided by the deities We're no longer blind Warmth holding our purity We will not be burned From nothing, we became What we sought to be Stronger at first glance, The cracks growing from inside Treasured once Who am I Can I feel again Always less, never more Did I fail to see This story has no end It appears to be Desolate horizons for the miles ahead Never wanted to walk alone Fate has shown me This is how it's meant to be Complete once Where am I Did you steal from me What is gone is now lost Missing part of me The abyss won't resist Where I make my home Precipice so high up Where I was before Shadows washing over me I am not myself The last thing you've given up I am not your slave Prolonged abandonment Reaches inner depths Clinging to the chains Worthless actions from your command Black smoke covers up Treasured memories You watch as it burns All I gave you reduced to ash After all this I've suffered I can not believe my eyes Wasted potential All this malice lights a fire in me Turning all the time we shared Into your catalysts of fear Stripped of the bonds I've known To prevail in infamy Though I'm broken I'll heal in time Your mind is not your own You're never to atone Take a piece of me That's all you'll ever see The piece you wield is a weapon Never blunt and always sharp The controller of identity Reassembled who I used to be A hunter with a jagged tongue And a blade behind his back The scars that pierce my skin Dignify my eternity Heart for a heart Eye for an eye Possessor hiding inside Just as I remember your face I banish you from this hallowed place Injecting your lies into my veins Just a cog in your machine As soon as I rebuild and reclaim I'll desecrate your bastard name Sealing my past away Everything you took from me Devoid of the passion you knew And now that fire's engulfing you Forever left behind
