Cleanse the Guilt

Swimming out the ocean of fire,
Flames of fury have been put out
Vengeance enough to stain its purpose,
Hell breaks out in midst of emotion
Uneasy temper rest lay on your back,
Confined in solitary walls of black
Injustice alone marks my only past,
But im waking up to dream at last
Im racing my heart its tune is outplayed,
So listen carefully before i change its aim
But as time drifts these grains of sand,
Wash off bringing me back in my own hands
Bear witness will surrender on ones legacy
Crashing down mountain to ash from hostility
Nothing will compare to dozes of offence
It will tie down your thoughts and repent
Mark the shallow ends of the sea
Tomorrow's dawn will end your ecstasy
Cleanse the guilt away from me
