A Soldier's Demon
The wind rips me awake and I see my only opening.
The coolness makes me shiver and shake, I look at my hands with longing.
The night closes all around me, it helps to hide my evil soul.
Only through rage will I be free, heart aching and my head hanging low.
The only light inside my eye is you
The only warmth in my heart is you
Slipping further away….away…..away…..
Let the moon light my path,
Give me strength until the very end.
Let my rage fill me fast,
This hell will forever be my friend.
I walk this road of pain and sorrow, my eyes fixated only at the end.
The truth is much more than being borrowed, it will only burn you again.
One day peace will comfort your soul, it will lay you down to sleep.
Black your eyes will slowly go, and the burning will be from the beast.
My only flicker of hope was you
My only salvation was you
It’s slipping further away…away…away
