A tolling behests a merciful breath from strangling scorn. Disconnect; recollect; stoke the pain inside this tortured mind so full of loss. Commence my disastrous excursion, to strike down false allies who revel in their cowardice. I pave my path forward; I lay down the stones to gaze from the precipice of my self-made hell. If revenge is a rolling stone, let it demolish thine existence from this unforgiving Earth. Thine innocence is futile to its destructive path; raze it all! Bathe me in fire, my hubris undenied. Patagia-winged phoenix: arise once more to fly. I long no more for justice; this rage is all that is left. I pledged to break the wheel, and yet I turn it forward waging my war. My first taste of retribution; most enticing - The sound of cravens screaming “spare me please!” Further pushing the pebble of guilt, overshadowed by the boulders of rage. I offer you an ultimatum; bend the knee, or die (or die). Bathe me in fire, my hubris undenied. Patagia-winged phoenix: arise once more to fly. My directive is vengeance; I blaze an oft-traveled path. Heed not the plea to rise above; I spread inferno burning bridges once more. Can’t shake the feeling; Blood red rage and anxiety; Feverish with vengeance. Fall away; I’ll make it on my own. Oh, my love, how I wish you were here. They, the ones I destroyed, defending my pride brought only more strife. They, the ones I once spared, presenting them peace betrayed it in spite. So let it be fear. I am the pyre on which you burn. They, the ones that I trust to stand by my side, all left me behind. They, the ones that I love, with fear in their eyes are twisting the knife. Bathe me in fire, my hubris now denied (now denied). Patagia-winged phoenix: ashes forever, never to take flight. Oblivion awaited from the start of this road, so tread upon it carefully, of this I forebode: Maleficence is Schweitzer-esque when rolled like a stone; proud violet eyes will fade to black. [Intro Choir] With fire and blood, I’ll take what is mine. Tolling behests a merciful breath. Valar Morghulis; Valar Dohaeris. Disconnect, recollect, stoke the pain.
