Reaching For Me

The time is coming and I have to go.
You understand me more than I can know.
But through it all I never look away.
I'll never trust someone like you anyway.

I am here to fight for what is right.
Though I don't quite know what that is.
The darkness bites and gives a fright.
In searing white, I plan to give.

Burning pain inside.
A pain I cannot hide.

Creatures of the night.
Swarm around the light.
Heavens will divide.
And I see a hand reach for me.

Victims terrorized.
For your wounded pride.
When all else has died.
I see her hand is reaching down.

Severed spines and shattered souls.
Murders displayed where no one goes.
I take the blame, I will confess.
I am the slayer of the blessed.

I won't deny, and I won't cry.
I will just sigh and give you pause.
Hold my blade high, the edge will glide.
In death you find my lonely cause.

I don't want to kill.
Even so, I will.

Creatures of the night.
Swarm around the light.
Heavens will divide.
And I see a hand reach for me.

Victims terrorized.
For your wounded pride.
When all else has died.
I see her hand is reaching down.

Save your tears for someone else.
I'm going now, so wish me well.
No more shall ever hear my bell.
Somehow I'm not going to hell.

The string of fate will tie.
Around my where I lie.
And my soul will fly.
As she reaches her hand down to me.

Creatures of the night.
Swarm around the light.
Heavens will divide.
And I see a hand reach for me.

Victims terrorized.
For your wounded pride.
When all else has died.
I see her hand is reaching down.
