Burn My Dread

Dreamless dorm

Ticking clock

I walk away from the soundless room

Windless night

Moonlight melts

My ghostly shadow to the lukewarm gloom

Nightly dance of bleeding sword

Reminds me that I still live

I will burn my dread

I once ran away from the god of fear

And he chained me to despair

Burn my dread

I will break the chain

And run 'til I see the sunlight again

I lift my face and run through the sunlight

Voiceless town

Tapping feet

I clench my fist in pockets tight

Far in mist a tower waits

Like a merciless tomb, devouring the moonlight

Clockwork maze

End unknown

In frozen time a staircase stands

Shadows crawl on bloodstained floor

I rush straight ahead with a sword in hands

Cold touch of my trembling gun

I close my eyes to hear you breathe

Burn my dread

Burn my dread

I will burn my dread

This time I'll grapple down that god of fear

And throw him into hell's fire

Burn my dread

I will shrug the pain

And run 'til I see the sunlight again

Oh, I will run burning all regret and dread

And I will face the sun with pride of the living
