Blood stained mirrors surround me,
Drowned in the silence,
I cannot turn away,
No escape from this fate,
That I must face,
I cry to the heavens,
Begging for the end,
Longing to be the echoes,
Just let me fade away...
The reflection,
Of a man drenched in red,
It hurts, it hurts,
To swallow my existence
The stench of blood,
Is the oxygen that I breathe,
This bond between life and death,
Simply...
Is as thick as blood,
It sinks to the bottom of this ocean of sorrow,
Only to dwell beneath my skin,
I am the man in black,
The messenger of ends,
Oh, what I wouldn't give to let it all go,
Oh, what I wouldn't give to let it all go,
Alas, I cannot turn the blind eye anymore,
I break these chains,
I will do your bidding no more,
It's not cold,
But I can still see my breath,
It wreaks of black,
Shadows and premonitions,
Of what's to come,
A bitter and solemn beginning,
Welcomes, only a tragic demise,
But first I must kneel to my heart and mind,
And pay my regards,
Is there not a hint of pride,
In my actions?
Ambition was not my intention,
For the path I choose
Is that of two graves,
One for my self,
And the other for the man I once was...
