My Precious

Cinder and blood
Lands are all covered with ashes
Before this moment is gone
Go away, my precious

Torn feathers, smell of burnt flesh
Taste of blood on my lips
If I could care less
Moments like ages lost in a blink
All this isn’t real
Nightmares, bad dreams

I feel
Pain and agony
Not mine
I sense within
Helplessness
Fatality
Don’t take him
Don’t take him from me

Ashes and cinders
Darkened burnt ground
Light now withers
Within that bleeding heart

Light is cruel, mercy is blind
We were once the one
Lived so far covered by night
In peace and joy until you’ve come
Taking pure life by life
What have you done?

He is the one who taught me to live
He is the one who gave me the wings
Master of fire and ice
He shared with me his belief
And powers of all deepest dreams

Bound, wings turned to dust, no flame in eyes
Only dark night with dew it now cries
Watch now his desire slowly dies

Cinder and blood
Lands are all covered with ashes
Last moment is gone
I am forever with you, my precious
