Iron Mask

These are the tools at hand
And this is what you came for
So rest your faith on some
Solemn note
When I give up on you it’s not me being callous
Send me a letter, tell me
How it’s going
Just stay the fuck away from me, until you reach
Some understanding
I give up
The first one is the worst one
Took all I ever had
Well, maybe it’s supposed to hurt some, but I can face it knowing;
That after all this there will be some kind of prize to find
But I’m not the man to
Chance it anymore
I spent a lifetime being locked up
In expectancy
Dreaming of truce
Without these chains and iron mask to drag me down
Through veils of bone and bloodline
I can see the lie
It’s up to you now
Completion of this
Eyes staring blindly
Back at nothing
So this is where it ends, your promises mean nothing
I will leave you here to die
Alone
A pale shadow of what was once
