Dark Angel Born

Tragedy cuts me down and tears me open.
I fall before you bloody and broken.
Screaming angels come and grant me shattered wings.
I fly now for malice and darker things.

From a valley of thorns to a sky of flames.
I bask in your suffering and dream of your pain.
I’ve crossed the line and I shall not return.
I worship the darkness that allows me to burn.

Hatred envelops me but allows me to breathe.
I offer you visions and you take what you need.
I am the ghost that you all come to fear.
I don’t envy you because you wish you were here.

Dreams are objects that drown inside my sea.
I may be cruel but you’re no better than me.
I only offer you what you’ll never have.
I know you want it and that’s to damn bad.

Once dull razors become sharpened steal.
I am immortal and you were never real.
I torment you with visions behind your own eyes.
I am the shade that once living will die.

A dark angel born, once human, on a bed of ice.
I am eternal and you have only your worthless life.
I hold the power to destroy or to create.
I am the bearer of your fate.

Mortal hands slide away and bid me farewell.
Where I am going the Gods will never tell.
I take my place in darkness and leave you to your hell.
I give only my past for the world to mourn.
I was once like you till I destroyed my human form.
Now I stand with tainted wings, a dark angel has been born.
