Blood Red Mind

Cursed Madness and Blood Red Mind 
Mine to carry Mine to Mind
Careful now you just don't know
they Dare to Tread Another Blow
This Quiet Violence never ends
it waits for me my Silent Friend
It makes me Strong... it makes me Wrong
it puts an end to my Heart's Song
Just One Memory, just one more
Unlocks the Horrors and Picks the Sore
They never hear my Screaming Mind
Haunting me from Deep Inside
I feel the Storm Rush through my Veins
Blowing in Forgotten Pain
as Blood runs thick behind my Eyes
this Mask of Silence my Disguise
These only Words Save me Tonight
so Desperate now I Frantic Write
And Time Again I must Beware
the Trembling Stillness of Blood Red Stare
and Stronger still my Focus Fixed
my One Laid Burden is of this...
Cursed Madness and Blood Red Mind
Mine to Carry... Mine to Mind
