broken dreams|forever void

[blackstains]

Blood rising to a dangerous level
Seeking out me
Seeking out my inner devil
Watch as I reach for the skies
Trying not to tumble
Off this ladder of lies
~*~
“Can’t you hear their cries?” they ask
A mechanical tomb
My blessed mask
~*~
Slowly, I close my eyes
To smell sweet numb and decay
This labyrinth, my hell
I try to escape from every day
Another vision
Has yet to come now
Crawling, I never learned to do
Walking, I have forgotten how
Just one step at a time
And I will win
Unless this darkness
Consumes me with unbearable sin
~*~
“Can’t you hear their cries?” they ask
A mechanical tomb
My blessed mask
~*~
Where have all my angels gone
In the air, we all sense
Something horridly wrong
The fates prepare
Each sacred knife
They are going impatient
With each mortal life
Black and blue
Make my nightmares true
In the eyes of redemption
I see the greyest hue
Singing another stolen rhyme
From my past
Only praying to god
That this pain will last
Endless within
My sacrilegious book
Burning to give it
One final look
~*~
“Can’t you hear their cries?” they ask
A mechanical tomb
My blessed mask
