Paroles de Heartless

Piercing stare... Perceive the heart that I am holding Metallic trails... Stream down my arms It loved to swear... Upon the lies that it foretold to me And I: Its pawn... Guided blindly unto harm Laid so bare... All that’s visible is crimson Still feel its primal song... Though hollowed out inside I prepare... To drink deep its well of wisdom Rend away the sinew... Fitting, bitter ending to its spite In my hands To carve away A lifeless star Makes darkest day Beyond reprieve No more to stray Silenced call Extinguished flame There, it’s done – I’ve ended its dominion Blood red tyrant now overthrown Empty chest without familiar rhythm Its knowledge, mine – deepest secrets shown As cold as ancient stone This ruined heart has been disowned The pain is mine, and mine alone Its grievances at last atoned
