Leiden

Lost all her defense, her mortal silence
A scar without memory
She do her best to avoid death
Caving her chest, Hollow existence
He hunts her affliction
Pleasure to hurt
Thirsts to control
A man without fear
Who tries to survive by torture

Steel in her hands, a crimson embrace
Swinging the weight of her years in pain
No more fear, no more chains
The hunter has fallen, rotting away
Echoes of torment fade in the flood
A river of justice, painted in blood
No longer a victim, no longer prey
His severed head, her fate reclaimed

Those days always felt the same
Inside the darkness, she wants to escape
And it takes it's toll
Vengeance is here
His final breath sets her free
Shaking hands, eyes wide open
Breathless, she stares at the corpse
The silence is deafening
Yet she's never felt so alive

Steel in her hands, a crimson embrace
Swinging the weight of her years in pain
No more fear, no more chains
The hunter has fallen, rotting away
Echoes of torment fade in the flood
A river of justice, painted in blood
No longer a victim, no longer prey
His severed head, her fate reclaimed

The walls still whisper his dying cries
But his reign is over, his kingdom denied
Through the doorway, into the night
She walks away, reborn in spite
