Piercing stare
Perceive the heart that I am holding
Metallic trails
Stream down my arms

It loved to swear
Upon the lies that it foretold to me
And I its pawn
Guided blindly into harm

Laid so bare
All that's visible is crimson
Still feel its primal song
Though hollowed out inside

I prepare
To drink deep its well of wisdom
Rend away the sinew
Fitting, bitter ending to its spite

In my hands
To carve away
A lifeless star
Makes darkest day

Beyond reprieve
No more to stray
Silenced call
Extinguished flame
