Forged In Fire

I stand before you as a sinner

A ************* heathen dragged face-first

Down the road of treason

Bound for the bowels of hell

I'm always one step out of reach

From the hand of God

You would never sleep

If you knew what's in my mind

My vile thoughts

You would never close your eyes

I walk in the shadow of heaven's light

Hood up; head down

Take a closer look into my eyes

There is a part of me I can't hide

Bring the pain!

Turn and run while you still have a chance

I feel from grace and I'm not going back

You come to me with the image of a better life

I'm ******* fine with the life I have

I would rather burn than spend

Another second by your side

In the valley of death,

I cast a shadow to block out the sun

I am a monster accepting what I have become

My faith was drowned in a sea of doubts

Now the thorn-littered road is my only way out

So I push on, iron-willed, demonized

Tongue forged in fire; hate in my eyes

Celestial supremacy replaced with gloom

Inhale aggression and exhale doom

From the gutters, we rise

Into darkness, descend

Never meant for the light

Through your bonds, we transcend

There is no time for sleep

Just to reclaim the streets

How can you look down on me?

When I've buried you under my feet

So I push on, demonized

Tongue full of fire

Hate in my eyes!
