Satan and the Hallow Oaks
Satan and the Hallow Oaks
Alone lost for not only does time fade
In only these lives will you feel our eyes
Beating…Beating
Like the heart of the lost
Like the blood seeping through you wounds
He knows pain
He is known as pain
Wishing only harm
Upon you and upon himself
Cast down from paradise
For the simple sin of wanting more
Wanting more than was given but there was nothing to give
An escape given to the sinners
It confines only the saints
Paradise was only the image they painted
With words that make it sound perfect
But with all places war
War will follow the cold winter
And end the summer
In the forest of the hallow oaks
Satan waits praising the forgiveness
Forgiveness he won’t receive
For the faith he denied
All these ties fade to find a new reason to fail
A new reason I am nothing
Nothing… Nothing
Nothing more than a shallow memory in the fog
In the fog of war on the frontlines
Fighting but I don’t know why
What purpose do I serve
Ending these lives that could fade with peace
I wish I could fade in peace
But instead I die in a haze of fire
They call it glory
They call it fate
I call it pointless
When you wake be sure to be humble
Satan and the hallow oaks will be waiting
