paladin

Knives and blades are my speciality
Blood is my talent
drawing it from the depths of Hell
Like a maggot the razor burrows
leaving nothing but ruined flesh
And long scarred furrows
My war is against my mind
And I'm proud to say I'm losing
Battles are everyday and cavalry won't come
I'm left on my own to fight
From Sun up to down I struggle
This pain won't seem to let up
The enemy keeps pressing on
while I scream to give up
I'd gladly hand myself over
For execution if I could
But that's been tried and done many a time
The only way out now
Is to live this lie
