Rusty axe in hand, cold air on the face Holding down with a single damp hand Recoiled in place Slammed down with a thud and a crack Another in rapid succession And then another still in a dark progression Pain racks the mind, disgust sights the eyes
The twilight moon covered by clouds Refusing to witness what has transpired Mind dulled, and heart torn Eyes front, recoil once more With a final throw a shatter rings out The land convulses, the wind cries out Something beautiful is thrown throughout
It was a cold dark night when it came to pass That from out of the dark and into the light I shattered my soul to keep you alight
And if I had but another soul to give, I'd offer it up on this altar of fate
