Sway along with the cradling waves; they remind me of you Found safe among the tide; a betrayer so true Nourishing the senses; drowning in the deception Abandoned like the wretched deceivers A frigid embrace overcomes; warmth left only in hand Your touch a damning reminder; slowly slipping further away Taking me deeper into the royal shadows; a life left to waver Entwine my heart in jaded sea tangle Bleak moments become crushing memories; compression too intense to breath Fear finds a place inside my heart; water in my lungs Frightened not by the current; only by treachery Hazy blue becomes nothing more than black I reach the lowest place to be; coarse and caustic We become something we swore not to be; villains of the circumstance Nine thousands pounds of pressure; nine thousand ways to mislead Left searching for the one way to say goodbye A melody of flame dances over the lands Ceaseless ferocity of loss and ruin Breathe of a million souls stifled by crimson smoke Infernal atrocity of nature and negligence Blue Mountains basked in fiery red The devil of change and disregard Dry winds are the betrayer of men Electric currents of a barren destruction Loss of life and home Straining against reality of the inferno Saying goodbye to the helpless Becoming the hopeless Embrace one final time As the world ignites Say goodbye As the world burns in silence You let me in But they say I have to go The doorway to something different Now a barrier to what I desire Locked away behind On the outside looking in A place of comfort and passion Memories left to fade A wonder of what could have been Is there more behind the door?  I looked upon you with desire; a passion of pure fire Your flames drew me closer; curiosity fused with admiration An essence of pure intrigue and excitement Dancing about in my eyes; swirling beyond the reality of my mind The immense heat your smile creates in me is all that matters But the closer I get; the further away I feel Where comfort was meant to be; only the pain of the burns reside Every step tore away a piece of me; and revealed the truths in you I still saw the brightness that lured me here; but also the sad sensibility Lost was the mystery; replaced by a revelation You were the lantern promising warmth in a frigid darkness And now the light that guides me to you hurts just as much as the hollowness The sting of cold pales in comparison to the flare; the engulfing horizon Yet I cannot look away; forever drawn to you One more step; another bit of me taken apart I’m left now with blinded vision and scorched emotions Holding my fantasies together in my hands; losing what brought me here Flesh and desires; beauty and brightness I held such hope in you Now I hold only the flames of your memory  Laugh now my sweet; rejoice in the calm You can rest your troubled mind; your threadbare heart A battle was fought before you Pure kindness prevailed; a gift given to this world You stood before a mountain of chaos; yet triumph was never a doubt The scars will forever be a reminder; of strength and spirit Against all doubt and odds The purity of your love conquered; a simple truth A body left broken; a resolve now unlike all others Champion of a cherished place A temptation of anger from deceit born before you True courage in evading those feelings; bloodless wounds heal Reckless self-indulgence took parts of you away; stole virtue by force Yet you chose a better path; a way to forgive Protector of pure thought and innocence A foolish attempt at weakening your will; a fool most of all You’ve always been better; and invariably must so be This will not be your sole conflict; nor only victory Lead us down the path of calmness And remember to laugh  Ride swift and true; young lady of freedom Messenger of the night; protector of the land Your expeditious journey will deliver us from tyranny Every call you make beckons our finest; for they will stand together The line you travel becomes the boundary they defend Courage reserved for those much older; residing in your spirit Fear shall never keep the pace You push hard in the face of insurmountable odds; a warrior of vigor A love for family and country stands true against evil History may let your bravery slip away; but you will have our gratitude Forever remembered as the true courier of warning Daughter of a soldier; child of independence Bold was born into you Let us rekindle your honor; a people worth of thanks No man could match your fabled pace You were just but a child; galloping through the shadows Delivering us from oppression; amassing an army in your wake Ride swift and true into our hearts |
