Swansong Execution

As the light dies inside
forever the fire burns outside
my life flashes before my eyes
my life ends, fire and ash

i remember when
when your hand touched mine
i remember every little lie
every kiss goodbye
i never walked away
your still a mystery to me

my heart remains broken
your words i choke on them

well I'm so empty
I'm better off without you
and your better off without me

Washing my hands of your dark desires
remembering something i dare not recollect
as these dark days they neglect
forever you shall remain
locked inside my heart

your so filthy
your better off without me
I'm better off alone

As those dark times respond to my inner fears
i dare not whisper your name
for fear of the shame
the darkest time of my life
my perfect end

The hatred of you fuels my days
love for you lights my nights
how can i survive with you in my sight
locked in this constant reverie
my heart stored away
the keys with you, forever to stay

Letting go
something i can and shall not do
forever you shall remain in my heart
forever we are a heartbeat apart
today i love you more than at the start

emptiness resounds
and the swansong calls
and the man with the hood sharpens his axe
i shall be with you soon

Better off without you
a lie i like to tell myself
better off without me
a truth i cannot live with

I still picture your face
and the way you use to taste
to you this song is nothing
everything to you was nothing

My heart knows your name
bitter and full of disdain
forever shackled it shall remain
lost in your dark game

The executioner drops the axe
my head falls from my body
as my last thought enters into my mind
it is only your name
