Tower of Light

In the dark of night I’m in my tower of light It’s time to face my demons And face the fight My hands are clenched These fists of rage The beasts uncaged My rage bleeds out upon a journals page.... My heartbeat hammers, Sound the drums of war The waves are crashing And the lions roar Battle ready and Steady Prepared for more I’ve said goodbye to this Life (As I fall on my sword) Lightning streaks across my mind I’m out of time pushed too far across the line I’ve become one with pain It’s a part of my mind The best of me is gone And this is what’s left behind My tempers rising, the tempest swells Sound alarms and ring the bells The devils unleashed The angels trapped in hell Destruction is coming Can’t you tell Thunder crashes I fear not death I draw it closer with every breath I’ve lost my life There’s only this emptiness left Adrenaline in my bloodstream Insomniac from stress Lord where are you I’m failing this test... Crushed beyond measure A 6 ton bench press Muscles tensed my spirits ready Fire inside me is burning steady Chaos in my left hand Destruction my right I’ve lost myself I’ve lost the fight I’ve walked in shadow I’ve walked in light Both of these Balanced on the edge of a knife The betrayal that burns Has in turn scarred my life My mind keeps replaying that fateful Hate-filled night Everything is wrong What happened to life The devil is laughing I can feel his grip get tight My senses are numb I’m almost done with this fight Lord please take me Put an end to this life... But here I am alone tonight And here i sit in my tower of light I’ve lost that battle But Gods saved my life I’ve left the shadows Now I walk in light
