Iron Mask

These are the tools at hand

and this is what you

came for.

So rest your faith

on some solemn note...

When I give up on you

It's not me being callous.

Send me a letter,

tell me how it's going.

Just stay the fuck away from me,

until you reach

some understanding

I give up.

The first one is the worst one,

took all I thought I ever had.

Well, maybe it's supposed to hurt

some, but I can face it knowing.

That after all this there will be

some kinda

prize to find,

but I'm not the man to

chance it anymore.

I spent a lifetime being locked up

in expectancy

dreaming of truce...

Without these chains and iron mask

to drag me down

through veils of bone and bloodline

I can see the lie

It's up to you now

completion of this

eyes staring blindly

back at nothing

So this is where it ends,

your promises mean nothing.

I will leave you here to die.

Alone.

A pale shadow of what was once.
