Memories bleed through my skull

a reminder of my broken wings

that once lifted me, from here i fell

the pain is such a familiar thing

My wings had carried me through the sky

above the clouds away from pain

struck down and left to die

my wings were but tattered remains

And deformed my wings became

once more i began my ascent

past fire and torrents of rain

all reflecting my previous descent

And as i rose through the clouds wings spread

light shone upon them scarred and stained

i was struck down again and left for dead

my wings but tattered remains

"Why again" i screamed

no answer echoed back

hopes of light were but a dream

as my wings faded to black

My wings fluttered in the wind

cold and lifeless they fell to the floor

is this payment for my sins?

my wings to grow back no more

dark clouds filled the sky

bringing with it a cold and bitter rain

and in mute surrender i died

myself but tattered remains.
