Arms of Tragedy

"Arms of Tragedy"

Within the arms of tragedy
When my heart is torn
Is when I feel human once again

Though I will never be above or below
Neither inside or out
This momentary fix reminds me that I am alive

For the tears that have cried a river
Will mean nothing once the sun erupts

And the coal that has burned
The flame for centuries and a day
Will breath out once again

I had left it under a microscope
To roast on the desert floor
While the deer and the headlights play

Scorned with the residual shards
Of the diamonds you kept buried
Within my grave and in your eyes

So say goodnight to the stars and the moon
Kiss the sun gently upon its brow
This is the last flight of fancy you will ever know

I will meet you there one day
Watching the vultures tear at your soul
You have no idea the damage you’ve inflicted

And as I watch one by one the predator
Will collapse, poisoned by the black heart
Of the whore that has become of you

A disciple of lunacy and all that transpires
Lost at sea with nowhere to go
To dance within the teeth of the shark
