Gateway

Whispers of silence cast aside the sweet embrace of solitude
I long for time to claim life's divine glories and heated sins
The sole answer to a child's cry to deliver its future's freedom
Now lays hidden within the secret shroud of a blackened heart

Darkness eventually overcomes a fool's lost command of assurance
Faith no longer constitutes the remedy for scarred memories of sorrow
My soul is slowly drained of wisdom's strength to uphold innocence

Ages of reborn madness surface in the pages of written mystery
Recognition of eternity's flame offers little to a swept aside reality
Contradictions and conspiracy struggle to trigger deep animosity
Ripping wounds bind together to form the chains of my caged liberty

Hysteria prospers at the expense of captive channels of light
Wings of laughter take flight beneath the raw infamy of misery
Anger feeds the rage to which my salvation is held hostage
A clear fallout harvests the uneven distribution of dishonor
Reckless abandon spells death for hopeless and dim illusions

Angels are tied to the danger that transpires from my mistakes
Blind callings are heard, but nothing balances the scales of dignity
Heights of shame bend honesty and blame suspicion for what I feel

Blisters in my mind swell in a decaying body of compromise
Troubled dreams aptly resume my sacred sermon of redemption

I yearn to reach the dawn that echoes the sounds of hell
What is left is for a gathering of past regrets to merge as one
Before I pass on through the gateway to an unforgiving land

I've been crowned king of domain... absent of serenity
