Fight To the Death

Denial clouds me
I’m silence and a storm of energy
There’s nothing else that I can be
I lay down, tears will see

A world of demons and of dying faith
Hatred, anger, no place left is safe
But we still accept this as our way
Lay your life down or you can never stay

To be beside you pains my mind
Destroy me, use me until I’m blind
When retaliation is all that speaks
I’ll kill you and bleed you ‘til you’re weak

Even to hide from this brings fear
I’m nothing, so hurt me and throw me down
For this I show you what is here
You’re just a selfish child with a crown

Breathing out and looking in
Another moment of my hate
You’ll never know what I just said
It was just another empty silence in your head

I hear the whispers of your heart
I can see right through all that you are
But soon my senses will be denied
I’m soon to kill them, lead them into lies
