Trying to extinguish this fiery rage,
Skimming your past for a clue as to why
Your only chance at redemption is to lay down and die-.
Hanging your head to disguise inner shame,
Knowing deep down there is nobody to blame,
Your future, mere ashes slipping through tired hands-
Your world now, the fiercest storm you must try to withstand.
You’ve always been so violent, now lost without your fight
Courage now cowardice, how do you face the nights?
Count down your days but the time grows no shorter-
For the rest of your life to live as hells own boarder,
Seems so much punishment for so little a man-
Who from the beginning felt eternally damned.

Your Prison

I have visions of you trapped in your cage,
Trying to extinguish this fiery rage,
Skimming your past for a clue as to why
Your only chance at redemption is to lay down and die-.
Hanging your head to disguise inner shame,
Knowing deep down there is nobody to blame,
Your future, mere ashes slipping through tired hands-
Your world now, the fiercest storm you must try to withstand.
You’ve always been so violent, now lost without your fight
Courage now cowardice, how do you face the nights?
Count down your days but the time grows no shorter-
For the rest of your life to live as hells own boarder,
Seems so much punishment for so little a man-
Who from the beginning felt eternally damned.
