It’s All Gone

Here they dance with sin and death

Here they drown in flesh and blood

Here they sing no songs of love

Here they echo their Masters words

Their lives they gave too young to regret it

And lives they take too evil to feel it

The power they weild too enticing to refuse it

A bond, an oath too entrenched to break it

Her little body making me question my choices

Her slight shivers and now I'm hearing voices

The echoes, the cries returning in a flash

"Save her" the only thought I could find

How be it I'm conflicted 20 years later

Of a thing I could do without a sigh or a shiver

Innocence of all forms taken on this altar

Woman who are you to make me want this danger?

I dropped this hero cape for a reason or two

One to save my life and the other to live it true

Now here I am stalking a notorious cult

For a lady I've known a day and nothing but

Fire! A distraction I create

To buy me time to infiltrate

In and out like a stealthy warrior

She's safe quite far from the dread and horror

One thing I know is that darkness will return

And now forever we'd be on the run

I left this life for the beach sand and sun

Alas! In a flash, it's all gone
