We Will Never Die
Treachery,
An angel that was unfathomable,
Ruling your nightmares when I should have been purifying your every thought.
I failed you at my job,
But even from the start,
I gave you porcelain veins and a glass heart.
So beautiful and unmarred.
Why do I get a second chance?
When we rebelled and sparked treason,
And there came divine intervention,
My duty became to die,
The world was better off without such a fallen,
Disgrace for a guardian.
Breaking the rules was easy at first,
Though the guilt was hard,
I gave up my will to fight,
I layed down all my cards.
In your hand was a full house,
I held the Joker's face full of scars.
You defeated me and claimed me,
And with that claim,
They clipped my wings.
My wings were clipped and I had reached demise,
Until I got one more chance at life.
This is nothing like they said it would be.
This is nothing they could have verbalized.
So live life and believe the lies,
It's easier that way.
What's permanent now will be unglued,
The right hand men will become spies.
I will see what happens next,
All I know is if they have taken you,
I have nothing left.
My forbidden love was a foggy trance,
Hypnotizing me and better yet,
Giving me something to protect.
I loved you with all of my eternal mind,
That's why even if it's impossible,
I'm not leaving you behind.
Forever, we will never die.
