Sacred devotions
Cherished from my heart
Stored deep within me
Filling the empty spaces
All that I care for
I hold tightly onto
As my heart throbs
To an soothing rythme
Ignored thoughts
Repeating in my mind
Warn me from falling
Into temptation coming
To change everything
So I must run from urges
Creeping in to taint my thoughts
To stain who I am
Stolen emotions
Erased from my soul
Taken away from me
Leaving absouluty nothing behind
Except faded traces
Of what is already gone
A soul no longer mine
To much pain otherwise
Lost innocence
Wasted from my youth
Thrown aside inside me
Abandoning all that I am
Like I never mattered
Replacement wasn't an option
A forgivenance to save
My innocence to far away to catch
Given questions
Unabled from my understandings
What's right or wrong in me
I can't find any answer
That can cure my disease
Of wicked intentions that is
Notions in question
To late to turn from
Careless senses
Grown numb from my touch
Still out of reach
Dropping what I loved
Hateing what I've become
Frozen in despair now
Paralized awareness I grasp
Ton always remain the one
That';s damaged and done
Forsaken land where Earth's tears tremble,
A place where all the world's hope crumbles.
A place where angels lose their faith,
Begin the end in this cold place.
As blood pours down their wingless backs,
Their skin is sewn, love fades to black.
Cut the ties and sew the stitches,
Nothing can help fix these glitches.
Gallows tower everywhere,
Guillotine dreams fill the air.
There's no place for these fallen angels,
They stay here and hurt unabled.
