Arise

Out of the darkness and straight into the light Out of sweet death straight into everlasting life Out of devastation straight into the destroyers sour demise Once asleep in a grave...now awakened I arise Like a firebird rising out the ashes of affliction Once the mad architect of my own annihilation Once fear and frustration it flooded my soul Once lost at the bottom of a bottomless hole Once a ravenous rider on a black horse of hate Once force fed lies...now I watch...now I wait Raw revenge is a dark dish that's best served cold I am iron I am ice Once asleep in a grave...now awakened I arise Like ghosts of glass...shattered spirits of sin I'm the writing on the walls I'm a whisper in the whirlwind I'm the solitary soldier on a suicidal bend I'm a screaming skeleton choking...on my own invisible skin Seek and search for me but you'll never ever find I'm the end of the world I am Armageddon sunrise Once asleep in a grave...now awakened I arise

The stuff you write smashes against break-walls. And it makes for awesome spray!
