tragedy

I opened a scar and twisted faith
Written in blood, across my face
And a song that's sung in twisted tongues
With Heaven cursed, where Hell belongs
With one last gasp, I smiled back
And said I love you, without a chance

She crossed her heart and hoped I'd die
A sickening smile across the mile
The waters rush to take me away
As this last struggle fades to gray
Behind a scream, of love unseamed
I took a chance and said my peace

In one last attempt, I tore out my heart
And threw it to the floor where it fell apart
Across ancient lines and forgotten love
And releasing now the cursed black dove
I broke my arm and slit my throat
And on my blood I choked
Before my echo resounded the night
I took a chance to set things right

Opening my chest with death at rest
The cut so deep in mutilations best
If angels sing, then demons scream
And I tried to pretend this was all a dream
But as my innards fell to the floor
I scrambled to make this different than before
And use my death as a hymn to tragedy

She looked so sad, then I saw her cry
When she heard that I had died
The world turned red in one last attempt
For Heaven to forgive me, and Hell to forget
And with my blood, there ran a rage
And burned itself now onto this page
Coalescing atop a broken moon
And take me now to my Venus Doom
