Moon Curser

The open flame and how it stings
 The loss of life was great and you will only pay
 The price is steep so I believe
 These things come and go and come back on you in spades
 My temper lost, I spit and cuss
 Defile the lowest low and those they double cross
 I never told you the whole story of how my anger grows
 I want to curse the sun and the moon
 The guilt and shame, unfiltered hate
 We watch the lights go out and then we celebrate
 The darkest place for those who wait
 We smash the tombs, the graves, the grounds we desecrate
 The foulest stench, no fences mend
 We break the chains for those we must defend
 I'm tired of being afraid
 I want to stand and fight again
 The voices never abate
 They whisper nothing and fill the void
 I'll lock the door
 There's a side of me you haven't seen before
 I'd like to think I wont cave
 In the face of something real like death
 I just want to be brave
 Defend the things that I believe
 I've seen these awful visions
 Going on in my head
 What's it take to stop the bleeding
 When all I see is red
 I've tried to picture something else
 It's all a mess
 I hope its all just a bad dream
 Counting backwards from hell
