Jaded Black - Flames of Malice

Lost together in the ether
Forces working their ways for us
Lasting affair of the ages
Idolizing the way we were
You and I won't fade away
I no longer fear
The looming dark overhead
We can not be hurt
Guided by the deities
We're no longer blind
Warmth holding our purity
We will not be burned
From nothing, we became
What we sought to be
Stronger at first glance,
The cracks growing from inside
Treasured once
Who am I
Can I feel again
Always less, never more
Did I fail to see
This story has no end
It appears to be
Desolate horizons for the miles ahead
Never wanted to walk alone
Fate has shown me
This is how it's meant to be
Complete once
Where am I
Did you steal from me
What is gone is now lost
Missing part of me
The abyss won't resist
Where I make my home
Precipice so high up
Where I was before
Shadows washing over me
I am not myself
The last thing you've given up
I am not your slave
Prolonged abandonment
Reaches inner depths
Clinging to the chains
Worthless actions from your command
Black smoke covers up
Treasured memories
You watch as it burns
All I gave you reduced to ash
After all this I've suffered
I can not believe my eyes
Wasted potential
All this malice lights a fire in me
Turning all the time we shared
Into your catalysts of fear
Stripped of the bonds I've known
To prevail in infamy
Though I'm broken
I'll heal in time
Your mind is not your own
You're never to atone
Take a piece of me
That's all you'll ever see
The piece you wield is a weapon
Never blunt and always sharp
The controller of identity
Reassembled who I used to be
A hunter with a jagged tongue
And a blade behind his back
The scars that pierce my skin
Dignify my eternity
Heart for a heart
Eye for an eye
Possessor hiding inside
Just as I remember your face
I banish you from this hallowed place
Injecting your lies into my veins
Just a cog in your machine
As soon as I rebuild and reclaim
I'll desecrate your bastard name
Sealing my past away
Everything you took from me
Devoid of the passion you knew
And now that fire's engulfing you
Forever left behind
