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 it's 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?
