- - - CRAVEN AND CARRION - - -
Outside the light in this half life
I'm feeling sick on broken bricks
I've never felt the dreaming melt
There's nothing gained when I'm insane
No!
The portrait of the enemy
Is burning behind my eyes
The fractured state of destiny
May be twisted
But I know that it's mine
Lashing out
I must carry on
Surrounded
By craven and carrion
Was stillborn
Way back in the past
Your devils
Saved the worst for last
A broken face, losing my faith
The tainted meat of your defeat
In throes of sin I will begin
Tear down the cross without a loss
No!
The whisper of my tragedy
Is burning inside my mind
This shadow state of misery
May be twisted
But I know that it's mine
Crashing now
I must carry on
Obstructed
By craven and carrion
Omega
Way back in the past
Your savior
Saved the worst for last
I want to tell you
That I want to hurt you
Make you see the shitshow
From my eyes
Lashing out
I must carry on
Surrounded
By craven and carrion
Was stillborn
Way back in the past
Your devils
Saved the worst for last
Dying out
Can I carry on?
Imprisoned
By craven and carrion
Omega
Hold on to the past
My demons
Saved the worst for last

I hope you're implying 'Wes Craven' 'cause he's the one individual that comes to mind when reading this piece. I absolutely enjoyed this, Sir Hades. . .Hope I'm not becoming an obsessed "Misery" considering that I'm your #1 Fan! Now there's a scary thought. . .hmm. . .xoxo, Devlin;)

Thank you so much. I am honored to have my very own fan, the feeling is mutual. The use of "craven" actually refers to cowardly people. But you put a new light on this and made me look at it from another point of view. Thanks again.
