A Wall Stained With Blood And Tears
The history of the human race is a history sung in the language of violence
And written in the color of crimson
This world is overflowing with sorrow
Is there anything beyond this wall stained with blood and tears?
Reaching out toward the clear night sky
With wings large enough to hold you all
A feather for each star
I can only ask for forgiveness as my wings are left frozen in silence
Cold and alone in an endless black void
Reaching out toward the sun so warm
With wings gentle enough to heal any pain
Each feather burned up one by one with lies and deceit
My heart grows cold again as my wings burn
I can only ask for forgiveness, what else can I do?
The darkened road came to an end at the wall stained with blood and tears
Right back where I started, this twisted path of infinity
I saw myself on the other side, crying out
Broken, beaten, raped and tortured
I can't reach out, my wings are useless now
I can't even forgive myself
My heart fades to black with once again
Every accomplishment turned to lie
My purpose defined as failure
I'll walk the darkened road again, alone and confused
The reaper's scythe waiting for me to stumble and fall
I can't stop now, I don't care if I live or die
And written in the color of crimson
This world is overflowing with sorrow
Is there anything beyond this wall stained with blood and tears?
Reaching out toward the clear night sky
With wings large enough to hold you all
A feather for each star
I can only ask for forgiveness as my wings are left frozen in silence
Cold and alone in an endless black void
Reaching out toward the sun so warm
With wings gentle enough to heal any pain
Each feather burned up one by one with lies and deceit
My heart grows cold again as my wings burn
I can only ask for forgiveness, what else can I do?
The darkened road came to an end at the wall stained with blood and tears
Right back where I started, this twisted path of infinity
I saw myself on the other side, crying out
Broken, beaten, raped and tortured
I can't reach out, my wings are useless now
I can't even forgive myself
My heart fades to black with once again
Every accomplishment turned to lie
My purpose defined as failure
I'll walk the darkened road again, alone and confused
The reaper's scythe waiting for me to stumble and fall
I can't stop now, I don't care if I live or die
