HOLDING DEATH IN MY ARMS

Standing against the threshold
The bloodied corpses fly
Digging into my soul
They push, twist, and tie

The point of no return
Entering the portal
The altar has been fed
The fires burn with intensity

Running from my fate
I carry death in my arms
Holding it close; protecting
Soaking up what's left of me

The spiraling light collapses
Dispersing into the air
Sending chemicals too strong for my lungs
I fall to the ground
This could be my end

Acid seeps through walls below
Before me lay the bed of spikes
They're all around me, I'm captivated
While bodies fall from the sky

Majestic and strong
I still can't fight alone
The oceans are connecting
I've got no breathing room
The snow has turned to ice
Sharp crystals that sting my eyes
Turning these tears into scarlet

Not much time
This must be quick
I hold death close and kiss my fate
I won't let you go
It is forbidden in my heart

Stars are falling
Crushing my being
I can't do this
Somebody help me

I'm trapped and this is a dead-end street
The sun is setting for me
It's a blood red sky
The sky is bleeding for my love
The love that was once perfection
But only to a deceiving eye

And all because of you
I'm running with death in my arms
