Tattered Wings

So shattered are my tears.

So tattered are my wings.

This is a pain so fierce.

I wish that I could die.

The sky is a dark ocean filled with so

many perils that I must soon come to face.



So shattered are my tears.

So tattered are my wings.

Life is truly an oncoming death.

We just don't see it, nor bother to try.

Too many are afraid.

Fear of dying... fear of leaving behind what you have.



So shattered are my tears.

So tattered are my wings.

Why fight the reaper's scythe?

He will come to you when you sleep.

No use in prolonging the impatience... the desire.



So shattered are my tears.

So tattered are my wings.

The blood will no longer flow.

Oh, how I wish it would stop!

The nightmares... please take them away.



So shattered are my tears.

So tattered are my wings.

How can the battle be won, when I wish to lose?

How will I ever stand before God with only these thoughts?

Those golden gates... are they really there?



So shattered are my tears.

So tattered are my wings.

I shall fly no more... for I have fallen.

An angel of darkness is what I have become.

Black wings.

Fire in my eyes.

No trust in my heart.
