taken to this place of dreams
offered an exchange
never let it be said there's an end to what i would have given
draw the blade
and honor the incantation
my thoughts clear out
my eyes close now
my lungs, still shells
my heart shuts down
my life is forfeit, just take it away
this inferno
and the way that i've come to be here
a blackness in my mind
for the reason there is to risk it all
a nagging sense of dread
inside this place, permeated
my life is forfeit, just take it away

clasped hands
excise one another
misled by those memories
fixed in time
time to forget
all that's been said
wading through the lies used to be simple
but here among the princes
i call upon my strength
and i was never afraid to fail
before all this
this time it couldn't mean more
choking
drowning
this cull
it burns
burning all i know
subjugating
this love couldn't heal
have i found the bottom of this?
am i poisoned by each breath that i draw?
i know what brought me here
convince me that it is enough

close your eyes
lower your gaze
i'm gone
with the cross on my skin
upside down, and runes beside
you couldn't think to contain me for long
to place this hex on my soul
and immolate my body
it's not enough to keep me from you
when i'm through in this place
we'll tear the heavens down
these parlor tricks will be their undoing
left to bide time
commodity to be sold
will be the thing to leave this place alive
destroying all this
what i wouldn't do for the chance
another moment of your touch
in this cell
on the floor
i wait
armed
with my hope
i wait
and my hope burns cold
in the heat of this place
i wait
there will be blood
run through these halls
and into this heart in my chest
and stop this aching that never ends

coming around to tick off the list of enthralled, shattered souls
with euthanasia, you can't relish in the distinct bitter passing
perched on their thrones the princes draw their power from you
but have sat on their hands until their fists can't be clenched
and can't outstretch a single finger to point
here to collect their spoils
in what kind of game were you a contestant?
here comes your standing ovation
you kill my lover, but kill my love for them never
now you sit down
sit right down
call my name and give them nothing
oh, see that look on their faces!
just dying for the answers
how the mighty have fallen
now it's you that's cast in chains

walking away from this
and trying to be sound
it's harder than it seems
in what i thought were days
whole lifetimes went by
it makes what's next
easier said than done
if i left behind all those remnants of the past
all those pieces that you left
what would be left of me?
an empty husk of something
something i'm forgetting
forget it. all that matters is you
tried so hard to stay there
and take my place in the cinder
something brings me right back here
brings me back to you

this is not without consequence
but i swear with all i am it's not who i will be
a form is but a form
our bodies will not us lovers make
for we were long before we had them
and will long when these are gone
this started before their scriptures
so could not be contained therein
and when it's finished
i know it will be beside you

now as i reach the end of this maze
what is lost and what is gained lose all perspective
and my thoughts come back to what we are
but i miss you. still i miss you
i made my way through all this
just to remember what i'd hoped to forget
can not live
won't have to make me love you
could not die
won't have to make me love you
come, let us join hands
destroyers
come, this is what we are
destroyers

can someone stop me from sinking
fallen now
could something else ever happen?
i'm falling now
was somehow just orchestrated
all along
made for, but not ever destined
to destroy ourselves
undying
with you
that part of me
carried with you
all of creation could end with you in my arms
all of this is dying again when we touch our hands
