Ash

Midnight, imposing suspicion
Unaware, part of the grand design

Lines have blurred
Now return out into the world
A fit of rage, the dagger's blade
Kickstarts the massacre

Straight divide, left to die
Err of foolish youth
The water's black
No turning back
Gone far beyond to see the truth

Echoes resounding down the hall
Read the writing on the wall

This moment is sacred
And nothing is trivial
This place, gone forever
Only inside it remains
All is lost in ash

Empty threat, a silhouette
Dark against the moon
Razor's edge casts revenge
It'll all be over soon

Blinding speed, the city bleeds
All is red in view
Earth is cracked, no going back
Gone beyond to see the truth

Seems as though
There is a drastic change
Now I know the nature of the beast

True colors have been revealed
Leave behind this world surreal

Walk along the shore
Before the tide has fallen
As this chapter closes
Reflection resolves in ash

This moment is sacred
And nothing is trivial
This place, gone forever
Only inside it remains
All is lost in ash
