- - - BURN AGAIN - - -
I have no control of this inner beast
It keeps on twisting and turning inside
Just leaving a trail of tears in my wake
A candle burning both ends all the time
Until it fades away into nothing
I don't know just how much more I can take
The granite is slowly chiseled away
Until I finally fucking break
My shadow is oppressive
In this rage again, this wraith again
The fire is rekindled
And I burn again, I burn again
There has never been so much here at stake
I think I would rather lose it all
Then battle over such tarnished trinkets
Family heirlooms thrown against the wall
The anger simmers beneath the surface
Pushing me deeper onto rusted nails
I'm crucified for what I've done for love
Leaving me to languish in my Hell
My shadow is oppressive
In this rage again, this wraith again
The fire is rekindled
And I burn again, I burn again
Waste not your tears on me
I am beyond redemption
I hate myself
More than you ever could
I can't stop this, I never will
An aching need to kill the pain
With another gain of someone's tears
I will prey upon your fears
Of grievance all the same
Thus, is my will
Over and over, destroying myself
I have come too far for anything else
The natural presence of my damnation
When I have no more soul left to sell
I find myself at another locked door
Barred at the passing of my inner wraith
It continues to torment me so
My coexistence with burning rage
My shadow is oppressive
In this rage again, this wraith again
The fire is rekindled
And I burn again, I burn again
Waste not your tears on me
I am beyond redemption
I hate myself
More than you ever could

Darkest Lord Hades I feel the anguish of this write in my bones..
with lines like these..
"Over and over, destroying myself
I have come too far for anything else
The natural presence of my damnation
When I have no more soul left to sell
I find myself at another locked door
Barred at the passing of my inner wraith
It continues to torment me so
My coexistence with burning rage
My shadow is oppressive
In this rage again, this wraith again
The fire is rekindled
And I burn again, I burn again"
