The Path

I swore an oath to myself I would never break

A bond in blood

A pact taken to the grave

I lit the spark

And let the flames circle me

Watch it burn

Its the only protection I need

Im too entrenched

Im too far gone

I kept this vow

Through the eye of the storm

Some got burned along the way

Dropped like flies

While the rest of us stayed

I stand in the rain under these clouds of grey

Watch the seed grow from nothing

I walk the path

Unchanged

Still chained

I held onto my wrath

Because its ingrained

Blood stained

It still lives

And it bursts through veins

Scarred and bleeding

On broken wings

It cant be feigned

A sentence to the grave

Dont pray for me now

Ive weathered the flames

I walk the path

Unchanged

Still chained

I held onto my wrath

Because its ingrained

Blood stained

I swore an oath to myself I would never break

A bond in blood

A pact taken to the grave

Maybe the gate needs a lock

Imposters run amok

If they reach out their hand

Cut them off

I walk the path

Unchanged

Still chained

I held onto my wrath

Because its ingrained

Blood stained
