On a mounting of skulls
In the castle of pain
I sat on a thrown of blood

Kneeling on a floor of disdain
She smiled up at me with eye of contempt
This gypsy wanting to be at my side like a knife

You where dragged in with chains of the past
A tribute or a sacrifice to me I am not sure which
Pushed to your knees I see you broken like so many bones at my hand

Atop your head a crown of thorns
And wearing a dress crimson hurt
Looking down in to your eyes of sorrow

The gypsy moves to my side like a viper
Her voice poison in my ear
Her hands trying to sculpt my fate

Some thing in side you burns like a torch
glowing there is a hidden spark in your eyes
A trapped light in your soul

Drawing my swords, anger and hate
I cut your chains of the past away letting them clatter to the floor
And breaching the crown that cuts your flesh

I hear the witch cry out in disgust
"what are you doing" her voice cold and shrill
Her voice stabbing at me as if to end my life

Casting her out in to the cold deep as her soul
I pull you close so I can feel your warmth
Some thing I never knew starting to melt me

This is our past that bind us
Never regretting the choice made to release you from the cage that was life
You lit the darkness in my castle and my self

The years have been cruel to us
Words written in blood stains the halls
Our fate challenged and our future stolen

You must leave this castle of pain
Now crumbling with out the fight in its walls
It is fallen to ruin and you must be free

Go if you must fly
Leave me alone in the darkness
There is little more here then a broken man on a broken thrown

But please don't forget how to walk with out chains
Never let your self sit in that cage of your own making
My queen of crimson and hurt
