When the cold stone lies
        beneath you unmoving
With the fate and life
        of your choosing
When the cold mists drift in
And freeze your life of sin

You made the sacrifice
        of greatest pain
Still, frozen limbs,
        you have lain
While the knife was held above,
And the silent pains of love

The past, with its pain
        comes back to haunt you
Avenger, alone
        a childhood that taunts you
Spiraling into dark and revenge
the murders that you can never amend

A past misdeed,
        that kindled a fire
Which ravaged and ripped,
        and swallowed up lives
Raged and grew, with unquenchable thirst
Love finally slaked ambition so cursed

An angel of death
        now only an angel
Born from a fire
        stolen from your cradle

From birth to death to death to birth
Regretting, desiring, hating, and love
The lives that you've taken, now someone's taken yours
Sacrificed their happiness
Take your beginning
Simply retribution
for all you've done

back to the highway that never ends
