A single heartbeat from the end Into the madness I descend... Witless words withheld unaware Songs without rhythm not rhyme Roads leading to the depths of nowhere Clocks transcending time Stars without the faintest shimmer Plummeting from the skies Dusting off my final crusade A martyr who never dies... A single heartbeat from the end A voice is screaming inside my head Insubstantial sounds I apprehend A single pill wont demolish dread Then, a movement in the corner of the room A dark, obscure figure with the face of doom My demon, awaiting, with a wilting black rose A single glance holds me under her grip With each thorn breach she claps and crows I can't see the blood but I feel it drip...

A Beat from the End
A single heartbeat from the end Into the madness I descend... Witless words withheld unaware Songs without rhythm not rhyme Roads leading to the depths of nowhere Clocks transcending time Stars without the faintest shimmer Plummeting from the skies Dusting off my final crusade A martyr who never dies... A single heartbeat from the end A voice is screaming inside my head Insubstantial sounds I apprehend A single pill wont demolish dread Then, a movement in the corner of the room A dark, obscure figure with the face of doom My demon, awaiting, with a wilting black rose A single glance holds me under her grip With each thorn breach she claps and crows I can't see the blood but I feel it drip...
