Ashes

You can see it in my eyes
This burning world
Somewhere beyond the void of my life
Beneath this bloody cross I end my life
I fly on broken wings
Across this mortal coil

As the dark sets in
I feel the world dissolve
I feel it slip away
I'm alive
In the shadow of the sun
Cast these scales from my eyes
Once again into the breach
Sacrifice
Deny these gifts of heaven
