Walking here amongst the ******,
Wings long stripped and turned to dust,
Left to fend and stand alone,
Silver skin long tinged with rust,

Walking down amongst the beast,
Staring up towards the sky,
Dreams of ancient memories,
Stolen from that place so high,

Walking here amongst the lost,
Fangs and claws long dulled with age,
Drowning in their blissful trance,
Fighting to control the rage.

I walk a path that none can see,
Just half of who I aught to be,
Apart from all so near to me,
Imprisoned by my destiny,

I walk a path that none can know,
Just following where I must go,
A glimpse is all that I can show,
Enslaved to wander to and fro,

I walk a path that none can flee,
Just watching all that I could be,
A shadow that no one can see,
This shade that is the real me.

Tick,
the seconds passing by,

Lick,
his lips are feeling dry,

Crick,
his finger stiff with cold,

Click,
the shot is clean and bold,

Flick,
the gun is gone from sight,

Quick,
he fades into the night.

Don't hold back, it never helps,
Because we need a fresh new start,

Don't come back, it only hurts,
Because our song could never chart,

Don't look back, it never heals,
Because we're meant to be apart,

Don't think back, it only lies,
Because it cannot mend your heart.

What is love but the voice of our heart,
Barely a whisper yet muse of all art.

What is life but a shadow of dreams,
More than we want and yet less than it seems.

What is hope but a wish kept from view,
Something once lost that can never come true.

What is faith but the light of the soul,
Guiding us on as we strive for control.

Love is a heartache,
That will drive you insane,
But love is a shelter,
From the hatred and pain.

Hope is a struggle,
That will eat at your soul,
But hope is a lifeboat,
When you've lost all control.

Faith is a battle,
That will blind you to life,
But faith is the answer,
To all the world's strife.

Love, the master of my soul,
Guide my hand and take control,
See in me all that you crave,
Ever shall I be your slave,

Love, the mistress of my heart,
Share with me your sacred art,
See in me all that is true,
Ever shall I follow you,

Love, the angel of my mind,
Keep the secrets that you find,
See in me all that you are,
Ever shall I wear your scar.
