Bear the pain of the day 'til in drink you find sleep
Tormented in both by the ghosts that you keep
Of the crosses you carried you never could speak
The demons you fought to loved ones now bequeathed
Long in the tooth, long in the soul
How you longed for more as you lost all control
Wretched remembrance, your flirtations with death
But we kept our silence, as custom requests
The sun shall set upon your tombstone as it shall set upon us all
Your charnel homily is now our requiem of loss
To escape yourself, you danced with death
To the reaper we all must pay our debts
The succubus in a syringe
Might as well have buried myself along with you

Run with Dragons

The reflection may grow dim
When we falter in our way
But I will stand steadfast before the waves of time
Until the tide carries me away
Time passes
The words you spoke to me then, still so clear
An indelible mark, truth to which I'll always return
To praise the fantastic and worship of dragons
The world has moved on but here I remain
How the years wore me down
Resisting calloused spirit and the mind becoming closed within me
But still they speak
The dragons whisper my name
Cherish this passion as I press on
Towards a future uncertain
It's those dream we hang onto
that make us who we are
Smash the illusion that's comprised of failures and the worst things
The reflection that we see is not the true self we seek
In the shadow of this frame stands the young boy who started this path
Still standing the same, and so I'll remain
I will listen for the dragons as long as they call my name
