Epitaph

I run, I run
Breathless
I could fall into the arms of a man
A monster or a man

These shadows hands
Rake over my flesh
I know they hide in the dark
Salivating at the thought

I'd give you my broken heart
Rip from my chest and carve in stone.
For you can save me,
Only you can save my soul.

So take me, turn me
Give me the power
Give me your need


Prey becomes predator
Victim becomes perpetrator
I'll tear you apart

Wolf

The wolf approaches fast
I can only run
Outrun the despair biting at my heels
All around faceless laughter
A trip, and applause
I can only wish for escape

Caught up in a whirlwind
Blind, deaf and dumb
Centered here on the altar of hell
Screaming sacrifice to the fallen prince
Waiting for silence
Flailing, flaying
An endless parade
My sins on show, my secrets no longer
Blue eyes burn from shadows
A spectator sport, a killing field
Tears that burn away

To find myself whole only to be ripped apart again
Laid bare and empty
How many times can you push me back down?
How many times can I break?

Falling only not to land
Flying only not to reach the sky
