beat the drum,
it stands for something to those who hear,
the echoes of his footsteps call,
pain clings,

the frozen darkness ****** my skin,
beating heart,

hushed voices echo the reapers song,
this hell of mine,

holding back,
fighting back,
screaming,

lost inside this emptiness,
lonly,
a ghostly shadow before me,
only brings on misery,

this be the end,
blood and tears run through the walls,

softly hit the drum,
loudly hit the drum,

the midnight cold is creeping in,
the reapers song echos through the darkness

by scarlet rose

I lay alone falling into darkness,
the pain spreading through me,
cold ground beneath my flesh,

my blood spreading around me,
embrace the pain my soul says,

a knife i see but can not reach,
lights everywhere,
no one there,

my life slowly slipping,
fading away,
must i die,
can't it wait,

i stand as life fades,
tears fall like rain down my face,
so much must be done,
no time,

i wait near a tree,
sitting,
my mind calm,

the time has come,

im dead,
no longer here,
drifting through this endless night,
looking for my way home,

dead!

of cruelty,
of kindness,
love or hate,

it is by favor or by wrath of fate,
of good or ill,
of darkness blessing or of curse,

that what binds flesh and blood,

the fire of hell doth provide,
thoughts from within doth prevail,
darkness,

we who speak with tongues of serpents,
baying of hounds,

day of cross and trinity endith,
fill the void,
become the sun,
in fire's wrath

by scarlet rose

thy power furled and unfurled,
as if a being,
god or fiend could reign at once,
so wicked,
foolish,
and insane,

while air of space and time's full river flows,
bringeth through this pool of time and space of rivers end,
new heath to this flesh,

while the bones and muscle becomes stronger once more,
this flesh with blood so weakened by age,

let wicked deeds be met with fury,
grace from one where wickedness fell,

child of mother,
to mother of child,

strengthen me thrice for wickedness done

by scarlet rose

what was once me,
no more,
the present i left gone,
pictures,
memories vanished,
even my face forgotten,

from time and space,
i do not exist,
forever gone i am,

you bullied me to extinction,
your words of hate,
regret,
do you have any,

what you've done,
and wouldn't do,

i am dead,
your words killing me,
a ghost i have become to my friends,
if friends they be,
why did they not protect me,

their body's my shield,
their souls my strength,
both have cracked,

i am dead

by scarlet rose

walled up in my mind,
shadows of nightmares,
fear of strength that i don't have,
when in truth i do,

that witch is dark and uncertain,
will bring me strength,
to fear my mind,
and the shadows within,

nightmares becoming reality,
a walking,
living shadow that haunts me,
shadows in daylight,
shadows by a red moon

by scarlet rose

i walk with you,
promises you make,
yet you lie,

you say im the only one,
i ask you to wait,
but you wont,

i leave you behind,
for the lies you speak,

i hope you die in hell's flames,
your corpse being sliced with a knife,

sowing the wounds that i inflict upon you,
let them fester with diseases,
this is a gratification to me,

as i rip out your heart,
so mine begins to beat again,
your blood no longer my poison,

but my elixir of life,
the pain i place upon you will never end,

i walked with you as one,
the promises you made to my heart,
these promises you broke
