Entrapment into this prison, I feel the walls begin to fall, but as the gentle wind blows, I can still hear it’s call... Take of my heart for I no longer need it, without feeling I can see over the horizon, why should I try to live a life of fantasy, why should I try to even carry on... The incessant void of black remorse shines brightly in the sky, for I’ve seen the promised land, watch as it started to slowly die, the sky tore open and grace was not shown upon my soul, yet left to wander the abyss of fire as the death bell tolls, forgive and forget, remember then regret, this is to much to bare, left for dead, taken for a fool, unloved by you, I do not care, my wings have been broken by the wind of the unforesaken, a journey into a hellish nightmare is where my heart was taken... Unlock these doors that encase me inside of this tormented dream, for can you understand that nothing is always what it should seem? Hold on tight for this ride is going to be a little crazy, I’m not insane, bleeding my remorse from my mind, hopelessness is what I shall ordain... And into the night of the calling wolves that hunger for me, I shall know no more pain as I find what it is that can truly be, I’ve fallen one to many times to turn back now, I must proceed, to end this world of hatred and desire, to help my love recede... I do not know which way is up, or which way is down, where is the east, where is the west, I do not know where I am anymore, is this heaven, or is this hell, where am I? Tranquillity is nothing but a mere fantasy, remorse is nothing more than a fading force, and when I reach out to with my frail hand, will you know how it is that I fell still? The story does not end here my friend, for the moral of it all is still yet to come, I’ve betrayed myself this autumn eve, my heart has broken and mind become numb... Can you help me look to where earth meets sky, for there lies my home, the place where I am to die, and from my lips, not a sound will ever depart, for there is no feeling inside, no love in my heart, and when I seek out tomorrow once more, I will wonder what I was once looking for, dreams were meant for me to suffer within, and fantasies only brought on more sin, this is the time when nothing seems right, encrypted languages chant into the moonlight... I can not stand this dillusion that I suffer of, because this is not what I saw when I saw love, but those days are passed for I’ve awakened today, and realized that my dreams had washed away...Birth sign: Aries
