The Messenger - Neonfly

Wipe the dust away, from a box of levity

Stirs a memory, a lifetimes breadth away

Too scarred to close my eyes, the past floods in like tears

One more wordless cry fills the empty night

No bleeding heart could ever stand in my way

When, I played upon the foothills of depravity

No hearts and no minds were in my gift to bestow

I Can’t believe in life when death’s the only real God I know

They said, the truth will set you free,

They said, no harm would come to me…

The ends of sanity, drowning in profanities

The cost of savagery.

A slate that won’t wipe clean

No guide to light my way into unknown places

Silent partners stare, but there’s nothing left to say…

I was the messenger, the means to an end

Unleashed, to crush belief in far and broken lands

No conscience, no reason, no map and no plan

Destroyed the lives of those who never stood a chance

They said, the truth will set you free,

They said, no harm would come to me…

No bleeding heart could ever stand in my way

As I play upon the foothills of depravity

No hearts and no minds were in my gift to bestow

I Can’t believe in life when death’s the only real God I know

They said, the truth will set you free,

They said, no harm would come to me…
