I know your sorrow

Stars collide while the raven pecks your frozen tears.

I feel your sadness

Like winter frost burning dreams of blinded seers.

Thief of life, usurper of light.

Thief of knowledge, free will has a price.

Out of the hands / heart / soul of innocence / temperance / vehemence

The messenger torn in time

Into their raging tempest.

To be nestled by thy / in thy / in my calm

Fallen seraph unbroken.

Tearing a hole in a grey scarred universe.

Swim in a sea of shattered glass.

Like a dark lament, echoes of screaming silence stirs

Thief of life, usurper of light.

Thief of knowledge, free will has a price

I will bleed. A crashing star into an abyss

I will rise. A phoenix ascending within.

Eternity; sways in pale moonlight

Destiny; the messenger torn in time
