Into the Fire

Broken pieces of my shattered heart
Fall into the void
The black hole
Where everything
Disappears into the well of silence
And all that starts
To embrace
And endure
The pain of longing
Of wanting
And dreaming of better times
Amidst the lure
Of nothing
But death and ruin
Into the arms of
The rotting curse
Of disease that has no cure

Falling amidst the stone wall
Of the iron fence
I call
I call
Falling amidst the stone wall
Of the iron fence
I call
I call

Stumbling over barbed wire
I push on
I push on
Over and above
Higher and higher
Rusty metal
Pierces my skin
Blood runs thick and fast
So much blood
Becoming a fountain
A river of red
The last stone cast

The whimper of a deathly throe
Caught in the breeze
Captures the fragility of life
With ease

Knees cripple,
Crunch and fall
Writhing inside the deathly hall
The gallows of time
Of centuries in a line
It doesn't really matter
Expletives not relevant
As we reach
The tomb of the covenant

Wrapped in wire
Laced with poison
As we bleed
As we bleed
And wait to be
Thrown into the fire
