There is no destiny other than the one we forge within the fires of risk
Knowingly going so far into the furnace that the cost will be your life

There is no light amid the darkness that is life unless we carry a candle
But this candle casts light only for others

If we wish to navigate the winding paths of life
We must walk close to those we name brothers

There is none that died in our stead to forgive the heartless dead
So we must face the blame and take on others pain

There is nothing but lies until I tear through the shroud that surrounds me
Understanding this plague that brings me gasping to the ground is me

My own lies are what choke me so
And my heart pumps hatred as poison through my screaming veins

As I feel my soul begin to slip through my fingers
Here on my knees I glimpse you through the trees

So lost in strife with life that you do not care
That once within the forest you've entered madness' lair

As my crimson soul gushes from my mouth onto this blackened ground
I know what it is I must do

Accept Gehenna's everlasting embrace
Endure the burning pain

Use the dying spark that is my life to ignite the flames
And become a light within your night
