Burn My Dread

Nightly dance of bleeding swords

Reminds me that I still live

I will burn my dread

I once ran away from the god of fear

And he chained me to despair

Burn my dread

I’ll break the chain

And run till I see the sunlight again

I’ll lift my face and run to the sunlight

Voiceless town tapping feet

I clench my fists in pockets tight

Far in mist a tower awaits

Like a merciless tomb devouring moonlight

Clockwork maze end unknown

In frozen time a staircase stands

Shadows crawl on bloodstained floor

I rush straight ahead with a sword in hands

Cold touch of my trembling gun

I close my eyes to hear you breathe

I will burn my dread

This time I’ll grapple down that god of fear

And throw him into hell’s fire

Burn my dread

I’ll shrug the pain

And run till I see the sunlight again

Oh I will run burning all regret and dread

And I will face the sun with pride of the living
