A Silent Prayer For The Haunted - Hell Within

Daylight

Four days you’re gone

Still chasing sleep

Black spectres born from dark shadows in my mind

One step to the edge I’m taking

The last remnants of who I used to be

My still blackened skies

You’ve got to burn your eyes to see

Unguarded thoughts betray a frail mind

So what

If I lost all compassion?

(Just like you)

Would you make me a martyr?

I’m not afraid to die

Shut me up with some new damage

One step to the edge I’m taking

The last remnants of who I used to be

My still blackened skies

You’ve got to burn your eyes to see

Flowers for an empty grave

To your knees to brush away

An epitaph you just can’t say

Between the leaves reads your name

The tide has washed you back to me

Into my arms lay you down to sleep

Call it love or just revenge

A fitting end for us, my friend

Time for mending came and went I tore you from my heart

So just walk away I tried to open your eyes

Your soul was shackled since the point of inception

There is no grace

So just fall away

The hourglass spans the length of a life time
