Legacy of A Martyr

My dream became my nightmare, Day became night, Darkness become my light
Upon my arm, I painted a mural of the angel’s falling, Bled out again today
Upon my heart, I painted a mural of the demon’s command, Still my hand stays
I have lost what I believed to be forever mine, My eyes are opened for the first time

Believe in me, For my faith is shattered with my stained glass shelter
Trust in me, For my doubt is overshadowed by my lust for questions
Leave me behind, For my knees are broken with the words I write
Leave my memories, For my legacy is unbecoming of a martyr

I have lost the will to live, Taken by a savior unknown
They promise me I am saved, That I am safe
I have lost my inspiration, Taken from my clouded mind
They promise me my thoughts are clear, That I am here

The rays fall upon my face but the passion never reaches me
The stars fall upon my horizon but the glory never reaches me
The raindrops fall upon my face but the chill never reaches me
The tears fall upon my face but the desolation never leaves me
