Chaos within,

Crimson tears,

Vultures circling,

Awaiting the prey,

Taste of blood as tears touch my lips,

Chasing the dragon to soothe the pain,

Searing fire inside out,

Numbed to the brink of extinction,

Ordered to bear the mark,

Ordered into the black mist,

Searing fire,

Soaring delusions,

Slowly eaten up,

Slowly burning.
