Tilting the hourglass

you take my breathe away…
but I´ll never taste your lips
as fate keeps me locked away
I must close my eyes to see your face

emptiness has darkened my eyes
as I hopelessly bed for my life to end
…tell me why…
my iron eyes tell the tale
heroes always pay in their blood
I can be only this

I see the fear growing in their lost eyes
my purpose is so clear… I am the ax
I am the ax and this is why I must not fear the end
and when I´m gone will you forget me?
pen wears its steady course across the page
resigned to it´s designs to take the hive

emptiness has darkened my eyes
as I hopelessly bed for my life to end
…tell me why…
I wish I could make you see, I wish I could make you see through the pain
through the end, I wish I could make you see the greater purpose that I have to serve…
no one else will fight… no-one else will fight… so I must
my iron eyes tell the tale
heroes always pay in their blood
I can be only this

I see the fear growing in there…
