Tears of Blood: Extended Version

Tears of blood

(extended version)

Written on 8-25-05





Tears of blood do I cry

Till our leaks my life force

And I die



And to the heavens shall I soar

But for a moment and not more

For down to purgatory shall I fall

Once my wicked deeds have been resolved



And the wings for which I strived

Shall be mine for a moment contrived

then of them shall I be stripped

As the fire does singe the beautiful tips



Surrounded by fire and pain

The beautiful white wings I once had gained

Black and useless they smolder around me

As I sit alone at the reflection of what once was me



Young and naïve

Look at the child I used to be

Then older I get and wiser I grow

My innocence is left behind a dim glow



As I lay me down to sleep

I pray the lord my soul to keep

And since I shall die before I wake,

Please oh lord my soul do take



Keep my wings of white

Do not let them in my sight

Give them to one that deserves

And my sanity please preserve



Set me down upon the barren plain

Were there shall I remain somewhat sane

I shall wonder the barren wasteland

Forever my own blood upon my hands



Tears of blood do I cry

Till our leaks my life force

And I die



And to the heavens shall I soar

But for a moment and not more

For down to purgatory shall I fall

Once my wicked deeds have been resolved
