The journey leads on

Through the vast wilderness

Ever left from the path

I can no longer resist

The passage of time

Grows skewed like my plight

Each step takes me

Another world further from You

Fooled once I was

By pure “Love” and trust

Forsaken by all

Now left broken, corrupt

The passion and life

Drained from my eyes

These now hollow chambers

Of darkness consumed

Once I was blinded by rage but now I can see

This unjust world is no place for me

I slip from the past into the stream

But the deeper I go, the darker thoughts grow

And I see Your face so gaunt, haunted, shallow

My fangs bare to make my fury known

A fallen Angel to some

This wretched fool that I’ve become

A mockery made flesh most of all

But should I stand tall?

Reclaim my throne and call for war

Or leave it all?

Let all of their transgressions slide

Turn my back

And continue to hide

Or let this mark the end of my descent

And return with this

Unquenchable thirst for revenge!

I was fooled once again

All hope now denounced

Dashed many times

Too innumerable to count

My rational facade slips

To reveal the true primal side

Sin is ripe

And I covet Her fruits

The process is done

Rising from the proverbial grave

Of self loathing and of loss

And all those years that I bayed

The beast I’ve become

Has licked its own wounds for too long

It’s time I unleashed my curse

A vengeance fuelled coup

At last I can ascend from those dark depths

To take leave of this purgatory rest

And shift my focus to my enemies

Where once I was tamed by sorrow

Now I reach far beyond the brink to oversee

This fixed game of chess to set me free
