Story: After having murdered friend and foe in the battle for Ental, Lacey sinks into despair. The sword completely consumed him to the point of no control, and caused him to destroy everything, his friends, his lover, even his ship. Now, with no sense of identity and the power of the sword seeping into the very marrow of his bones, Lacey collapses under the weight of his own self-hatred and pity. He runs from eveything, taking with him the Dark General's massive fleet of ships, which he has rightly won, and hides on a long abandoned planet hidden within a star system with no name. It will only be a matter of time before the Galactic Guard hears of the power he holds, and there will be no stopping them from coming to take it... But Lacey is in no state of mind to protect himself, his thoughts are turned inward, to the conflict of egos within... Scrape... harder Aftermath sets in on me I am wretched, detestable, worthless Compelled to comprehend the guilt To forfeit everything for atonement I'll hide away to fight the side that's screaming, What have you done? And the other that's fine with being, The bloodstained one Myself against me, two darkened faces, which one will win CHORUS: Take this affliction of the heart Dull these wounds of sorrow Beg for attrition from remorse My soul become so hollow I crawled and grasped for it, but still, grace eludes me I could have been the one to save us all From forces raging Instead I chose to fade and lost control And now I'm paying This agony is punishment for the choice I made I've never felt so crushed beneath an overwhelming weight Destroyed by misery, this aching disease, torment deserved CHORUS Turn my hands to stone God knows my heart's halfway there Just take away my ability to kill Alter my moral perception Turn it upside down I found a place to escape from Two sides of sin Shed simulation to become Two beasts within I'll take the pain and build four walls Fortress of shame Lock me away for a just cause Bloody dichotomy I can't erase the consequence of Murderous rage I'll simply take myself away from This ravaged place CHORUS x 2
