A Consequence of Design

With this pen, I use invoke to describe how it felt in wanting to have you again and again. I'll hold my breath as our world comes undone and catch the bullet if you hold the gun. Now, life waiting for words to define how to repair the seams of my soul. Because of you, the architect still sleeps. A consequence of design, that life will not pass by. What has been said of a yearning that stands as high as mountains became of glimse of a time to lose myself. And I'll hold my breath as our world comes undone and catch the bullet if you hold the gun. Now if only that passion within myself could command the conflict between us both. The beautiful denial forced me to stay; I can not let go. Even when my body's broken, long before my soul fades away. If I gave all control, the destructive love we hide will be defined in the shadow of mourning to come Where I stand free before life for the first time I'll bask in its glow with all of my soul

The world alive, bathed in moonlight as I walked past my grave in the fog. Observe her form, lying beside the stone and the letters she left in my name. Where I longed to speak the worst of my soul, I watch the tears that run down her face drop to the ground without ever knowing that... I crossed a wide ocean of change, consumed by a desperate despair all the way. Yet, despite every hollow oremain that I've gone through, the ghost is always you behind the chapel walls, where my soul's laid to rest. There within a moment I understood; I the weatcher, just a silent silhouette behind the gates. By god, one day, help me forgive myself. She the conspirator will guide my hands and cleanse my soul. Though I have remained silent, the search is over and I let go. I will find a voice to describe all the horror inside of my mind, with determination. I'm just a servant to the silence, the silence I despise. Guide me through the darkest days. Where in my heart beeats a guiding voice? A sullen hand to suffer my choice; and now, to decipher, the moments gone. I finally understand my fate, and what has to come to be worth the pain, and ride the seas of change whatever I become. Like me, for that moment her face is gone. Life's lust, my only friend. No more the answers to force my own life to change. Breathing, cause the movement when life is gone. Still the silent silhouette, may my search be over and lend me to rest. I felt the anguish in that movement discovering me, but consequently give my tired soul to be separate.

Light the dawn, realization unfolding That this tortured mind is unworthy yet inside this light I spoke the words that severed barriers of silence And though at times I may suffer, I never lost the perception as a result, forced to witness horrors that most cannot imagine though I command the armies of forever, I only dream of death to exude the emptiness I felt, as eternal youth birthed its gift. And when the passion falls away only madness remains in the eyes that navigate the darkness and when you scream your tears run dry all the light you gave soon fades my darling Days that stretched on for a lifetime Only in death unite us both these words live on in my craving for everlasting life to shine through me now my sould has been torn into, subtle pieces of a memory I soon take flight through the burden of the burden is eternity I'll tear them down, utter words I've been longing to speak so, to unleash, of the burden that slips off my tongue the end that draws us on, drawing closer with each passing moment the light you cast is mine, in this lightless chasm Unyielding malice overtaking, seeps into my soul to seek forgiveness may this path lead the way to find the end of all those memories I hold dear lie in ruin ashes at my feet Now I'm a witness, to the destruction of another a witness to the demise of me and all the anger left consuming won't set me free from its grasp the blood in my veins flows like sand, through my heart and out of my hands fill the burden of life, this life isn't mine I'll tear them down, utter words I've been longing to speak so, to unleash, of the burden that slips off of my tongue the end that draws us on, drawing closer with each passing moment the light you cast is mine, in this lightless chasm

Upon the storm that gathers here, the torment reigns like fire on my soul. Yet I'd cross this ocean with both eyes open wide, and dream of the day that I set free my sorrows into your world. And when your heart ceases to shine, I'll show you illumination; divide the distance between I and I to regain all the strength I'd lost. What she it's life for you and I, could endure a lifetime in our minds and in our veins. Though the moments slowly pass that burn my soul, I'd spend a lifetime letting go and what will remain in its place is the thought, that I gave the world to itself to destroy. Upon the storm that's gathering, rides a lifeless burning god like me dying to divide the soul from life and cast the darkness aside. Yet through it all, words of passion crumbling within my grasp. My angel of darkness, spread your wings. You're mine this time; when I decide. Now, take my hand as our life burns away turn to dust When your heart ceases to shine, I'll show you illumination divide the distance between I and I to regain all the strength I've lost along the way. As the moments slowly pass, that burn my soul Through it all, words of passion crumbling within my grasp, and fall as ashes at my feet. My angel of darkness spread your wings, you're mine this time, when I decide. And fly, on crimson wings towards the sun. We are, no longer children of this earth. The light would cast a shadow over us both, before our willing eyes. So, now as my life has turned away, what remains is the fire in its place. I know the time is ticking by. Time will change us. Time will run. Upon that storm that's gathering rides a lifeless burning god like me who would divide the soul from life to turn the darkness aside and when your heart ceases to shine I'll show you all illumination, the further lights us all. Illumination cast a shadow. Illumination cast it over me. So if I could gather life, I would stand there as I am: as lifeless, burns away.

Now, I'm ready upon the journey, with my eyes open wide. A journey across the distance, though I'm so terrified, to discover the failure in time and challenge the course of my world if only the sound of your voice sustains. Only between the lines of broken denial, you'll find me lying trapped under the weight. Dear Ana, my whole life to find you if you would only help guide my way. Just, light the course because I need you more than ever now beside me through constant fear, before I get lost again. Watch over me from wherever you might be and I promise that I will not fail you. Give me acceptance of all to understand the past now I'm stronger than rage and I won't bend or falter again. I became of this fate, and so my heart let go just guide the course of my hands, across a great, unknown world. Like I was, I became again, to the deepest fraction of myself. Speak to me the distance now, of life, the consequence I must accept. As I, will descend on the world with the fury of the soul. Mine was the way, before life relinquished my control. The war inside my mind will soon become all the world in victory divine Ready to cross the distance, though I'm so terrified To journey beneath the sunset, with my eyes open I'll give life to the choice if I'm wrong, but without you I cannot last beyond the burden that hangs at my soul because Only between the lines of broken denial You'll find me lying, trapped under the weight Dear Ana, my whole life to find you, if you would only help guide my way. Dear Ana, I need you by my side, to guide me through the darkest of days

Through the looking glass, I watched in silence as we crumbled Like ashes in a breeze, fall apart Bone and flesh, reduced to dust and lies before me within this moment I knew, that I had changed forever Unholy passion of man's great loss, was offered to us this day as our anguish poured like rain, observant to my decay May the torment I live through now, echo through eternity sing its song inside my mind and descend into memory I remember the sound that their bodies made, as these gods of war were split in two before my eyes and I, can't save them all or speak of peace the words that were ripped from my mouth, echo blind in the moonlit sky as though all the phrases know no bounds, no confines Malice consuming, though my hands are shaking I slay them all with my hands just to put my soul at ease and rest Through the violence I have seen, I've found a new understanding of how easily we can be broken Through all these years, I've remained so silent When I'm not strong enough to run through the fire Where the darkness lives on, in every moment here they're taking my hand, I'll scream it out forever in death decide Through all these years, I've remained so silent When I'm not strong enough to run through the fire This is not compassion I seek, words that become the essence of the anger I felt won't fade with time and decide, when life has ceased to set me free I remain trapped inside the body of a broken man and only here will waste away with nothing but my memories to guide Through the darkness of my mind, will I find the answers to shine new light on my shattered world and leave the earth behind And only I know why The pain that lasts lifetimes Will I be saved? Set free from life?

Now, as the storm parted away, reveal to me his face; the narrator of my whole world. And as he spoke to me my soul could only tremble with each word that passed his lips. He spoke to me, "my son, the path is yours to take. Your purpose is greater than you'll ever know". Now, hear these words my child of light, understand only her soul can lead you home. As I gazed into, the ocean of those eyes, the same blue as mine and I knew. Without the words I needed to say, that from my tongue would give life to this fear. There's no time to decide, my son this is the path you chose. Let it guide you to her and the greatness divine that awaits you if you can overcome the world before you. Give your life and your soul; you must not fail us the world rests on your shoulders. And yet I feel your pain, as though it's mine the same. all the hurt remains, and may not ever change. This is, a compassionate calling to arms. For all this time divide the distance between us both. Along the way, fueled by the fire within your soul. Your life is more than a consequence of design, desire guides you towards your fate. If I could shift the weight of the world I would give you a choice, to turn back the time Our lives lie within this moment, and all it's misery waits for you. Go to her now Gabriel, deny fate and be doomed. Now, hear these words my child of light, understand only her soul can lead you home. Seek her with all you have within your soul, you'll find the answers in her hands. What will guide my way? What will light my path? You'll find the answers in her hands

And when the rain came down, over the hills and through this valley, the midnight mon shined down on me illuminating all that shimmers in this place. I haven't spoken since it happened, words turn to dust in my mouth. By tonight, bring solace to cast the mourning shadow. But I stil see her face every moment that I'm awake. I haven't spoken since it happened, words turn to dust in my mouth. By tonight bring solace. Was it the impact that broke her body? While I sat beside unscathed. The windshield shattered from the concussion; the class scorched my face, that burned so I held her head by the roadside and wiped the blood from her face. The words that, sent from her mouth, could only keep me silent. And with the breath of those words aside, her last tear touched the pavement. I pulled her close to my chest to hear her heart beat faster. Her trembling voice cut through me, will I make it through this night. I tried to conjure an answer, but my tongue had frozen. My love, the source of my yearning, not long for this world. I sat blindly as she slipped away and died in my arms. The aroma of gas still soaked in my clothes, and blood not of my own. Now at this moment, my body went numb. All life's red lust was gone, it all dies with her that night. All of my sins, all of my soul, all I'd given won't gain control yet I know. All of my fears become one. And within this tragedy I know life's fragility, burn; that nothing remains unbroken, and forever is a myth that liars have spoken. Dark unfolding, cast the shadow over me. Bleak unfolding, cast the shadow of us all. To cast the mourning shadow

Behind these eyes, fearful of failure; depart towards a new world to find her and stand before her like a god on high with my arms wide. And I will shift the tides at my willing to step through the fire. My world defined, who I've become. Yet I cannot allow the distance before me, to have me completely. These could be the last words I speak. But all that matters is that you hear me when I scream, call out your name as I depart from this place. Our time wil come, when our world's undone. To all divine, it's in the tides. In focus, I can see fo rmiles, though our lives divide. Though you and I are not the same, in time with the tides we both can change. I have dreamt of this day, I just wish I could stay in the wake of the day and remain unchanged. If I cross the distant divide, light the way over me. Though hopeless I won't refrain from the course. The tides are shifting in my favor and all that lies before me is clear. Give me the stregth for the journey carry on towards... I'll walk that line until the end of time. Until I stand beside you Anna. Through these darkest days that last forever, I will suffer by your side. Though you and I are not the same, in time, with the tides we both can change. I have dreamt of this day. I just wish I could stay, in the wake of the day and remain unchanged...
