Love and Life

Wounds don't heal
They just consume time
Wake one day to find years past
So it is with the dark nights in the soul

Wounds open the black state of mind
They do not heal with time

For love and life
I once burned bright
But the burning fused me
And the only flame I had
Now I walk on in misery

You said you'd bleed for me
That with time wounds would heal
You unsaid we'd be forever
You promised life without end

Wounds open the black state of mind
They do not heal with time

For love and life
I once burned bright
But the burning fused me
And the only flame I had
Now I walk on in misery

You said I'd be your only treasure
That I'd be the benefit of your reaper
You bent to one knee for me
But I wore you out with time

You said you'd never leave
Now I'm here stranded
Violence on the mind
Towards you and all man
