The Lost Bay

A glittering shadow covers the bay
Pretty lights diffuse in mist
It isn't night but no longer day
This bay should not exist

Electric flashes crackle the air
Raindrops singe the ground
Trees are crying their leaves bare
Secrets wait to be found

The flood that comes through is a raging fire
The wind an explosion of storms
Ashes keep piling higher
Creating more deathly forms

The empty silence sings its tune
The ground begins to tremble
Far beneath the dying moon
Let everything dissemble

Close every single gate
Destroy each leading track
Leave them to their fate
Don't dare look back

Sword of Shadows

A shadow sweeps across the sand
Soft laughter fills the air
Giant waves crash land
Against shores of despair

Winds pick up and choke your breath
Darkness tries stealing the light
The cold drops down to death
You prepare to fight

Your sword is just a blade of fire
Your shield a circle of flame
Don’t you stop don’t you tire
Just focus on your aim

Mist creeps through dim light
Drums beat in the distance
Something isn’t right
The presence seems omniscient

It will draw you in and tear you apart
Don’t forget how to fight
Remember to protect your heart
Remember how to hide

You know the perfect time to run
You know just when to fall
This is what you’ve become
A fighter for them all

Each Heartbeat is On Fire

Reach through the iron gate
Feel for the broken shards
Even though it’s far too late
Bring them back through the bars

Slowly fit the heart together
Ignore the holes and cracks
Know it will never get better
You will never get it back

Slowly put it back inside
Move back into the dark
All that’s left is to hide
And survive through every mark

Eyes are closed and thoughts shut down
Walls keep rising higher
The darkness tries so hard to drown
Each heartbeat is on fire

So Hard to Breathe

The darkest light is hard to see
The waves keep tossing on
Sometimes it’s so hard to breathe
When you have never won

When in every step you slip and fall
In every breath you choke
With every blink you hit a wall
In every sight there’s smoke

Behind every smile there is a wound
Behind every lie, there’s truth
Every later comes too soon
Behind your fate is only you

You control the very sight you see
You control the words you hear
Either you hide or you break free
Don’t be trapped by fear

Dusk is the Lonely Keeper

The day is dark and the night is cold
The water is so much deeper
Glimmers sweep the coming dawn gold
But the dusk is the lonely keeper

When the dawn of the day has become the dusk
The fire has frozen to death
The fight is biting at the frost
Night has fallen without sunset

When you want to speak
Too much to say
You want to leave
But need to stay

When your heart feels so heavy
And your head full of fire
Your steps are all steady
Your smile a liar

When everything is crumbling down
Everyone is gone
Pieces lie on the ground
But still the time goes on

The Heart of the Darkest Star

Spin the darkness till the light’s amazed
Cast fire into black ice
Don’t let them see that you’re afraid
Fly into the night

Breathe out the air of darkest smoke
Withdraw from the poison vines
Listen to my whispering joke
Avoid all the signs

Dare yourself into the danger
Wish yourself into the fight
Make things strange stranger
Change the normal sight

Tear up the heart of the darkest star
Create your own fire
It can never go too far
It can never go any higher

Bring it down to the deepest depths
Crush it till it explodes
Let it choke the dark to death
Watch as the fire implodes

Set the Dark Alight

Catch the wind before it cuts your heart
Block the lightning strike
And if you’re still ripped apart
You’ll set the dark alight

Fight to the surface of the deepest sea
Roll with each wave toss
Close your eyes, let your heart float free
Stay still among the chaos

See the light in the distance
So far away from here
Strengthen your resistance
Forget your fear

You’ll only drown if you let go
You’ll only lose if you give up
You know where you want to go
That is more than enough

Keep your eye on the distant shore
Don’t listen to their call
They will make you want something more
They will lead you to your fall

Learn to use the darkness
Turn it into light
Don’t forget the fading waters
Don’t forget the fight

You’ll tear apart the coming storm
And bring down the iron gates
Break down the giant doors
And stand against the fates

The End of A Story

A day as dark as a starless night
A night as bright as day
A smile colder than ice
A word you cannot say

I can see it in your eyes today
It is the last goodbye
Oh how much I want to stay
To never let you die

But the end has come
The battle has been won
The chapter done
Within danger, within fun

The knife at the end is never sharp
The end is never quick
Sometimes it seems so hard
Sometimes you scream and kick

But you know it’s time to let go
Time to let them lie
You’ve watched them live and watched them grow
And now you say goodbye
