Of Malice And Majesty

Through the looking glass, I watched in silence as we crumbled

Like ashes in a breeze, fall apart

Bone and flesh, reduced to dust and lies before me

within this moment I knew, that I had changed forever

Unholy passion of man's great loss, was offered to us this day

as our anguish poured like rain, observant to my decay

May the torment I live through now, echo through eternity

sing its song inside my mind and descend into memory

I remember the sound that their bodies made, as these gods of war were

split in two before my eyes and I, can't save them all or speak of peace

the words that were ripped from my mouth, echo blind in the moonlit sky

as though all the phrases know no bounds, no confines

Malice consuming, though my hands are shaking I slay them all with my hands

just to put my soul at ease and rest

Through the violence I have seen, I've found a new understanding of

how easily we can be broken

Through all these years, I've remained so silent

When I'm not strong enough to run through the fire

Where the darkness lives on, in every moment here

they're taking my hand, I'll scream it out forever in death decide

Through all these years, I've remained so silent

When I'm not strong enough to run through the fire

This is not compassion I seek, words that become the essence of the anger I felt

won't fade with time and decide, when life has ceased to set me free

I remain trapped inside the body of a broken man and only here will waste away

with nothing but my memories to guide

Through the darkness of my mind, will I find the answers to

shine new light on my shattered world and leave the earth behind

And only I know why

The pain that lasts lifetimes

Will I be saved? Set free from life?
