On My Dark Wings - Risen

On My Dark Wings - Risen

I was on my own,
I was just able to rise.
And here you came,
The perfect prize.

You told me
Everything I wanted to hear.
I took it in,
And I drew you near.

I didn't care to see,
The truth behind the scene.
In my deluded state,
I couldn't figure what it might mean.

I had no life,
Because I made you mine.
I was not my own,
After you tore out my spine.

I wraped my tattered wings around you.
Even though I knew you lied,
I knew you wouldn't be there for me.
No matter how hard I tried.

Fooled again,
My heart knew the truth.
But, Fooled again,
My mind needed the proof.

And, now I find
I was always right.
In this world,
I feel there may be no reason to fight.

I am on my knees again,
And I am taking back my heart.
I am wripping my love,
Back from the start.

For now,
I can no longer stand.
Because somehow,
You have made me less of a man.
Even less than before,
All of this shit began.

...But, here and now,
On my knees I make my stand.
And I take this world,
Into the palm of my hands.

And thereafter,
I will rise and stand,
And on my dark wings
I will spread my shadow,
Over all of this land.
