Fear of the dark breaks us all

Guided paths to safety false

This broken chant of the sun

Force the consent of your god

Bereft of avarice

The theft, the catalyst

She's left to ponder this

Slander built the artifice

Now her heart is bleeding out

Slain by to whom she was devout

All our paths lead to Rome

And all bridges, with time

Crumble down

My words asphyxiated

Forsaken in the vacuum

Between her paradigm

Abandonment-born eschaton

Now breeds a center gravitation

Pulling the bastion

Into itself, implosion

Heart sinks in, another loss

Drowning in the late cement

Laid for whom she laced lament

Addiction's avarice

Spited the catalyst

She's right to wonder if

Contemption will hold remiss

Now her heart is bleeding out

Slain by to whom she was devout

All our paths Elysian

And all bridges, with time

Crumble down

My words asphyxiated

Forsaken in the vacuum

Between her paradigm

Abandonment-born eschaton

Now breeds a center gravitation

Pulling the bastion in

Behold the queen dethroned

By her servants disowned

Sanity cracks of its own volition

The halls bleed their emptiness

Orbiting the sun

This free fall you perpetuate

How dare you blind your own eyes

While mine strain their fracture

The blood has dried

We count our sins

But she won’t remove the crown

Begging her to leave her throne

But hell, I've already said it

The tower comes crashing down

Stravage alone

I care no more

It'd be a sight to see

Her self-reflectance

The serpent cries out

As it bites its own tail

My dear, to be damned

Is not betrayal
