I don't need to show,
what can't be seen.
I don't need to show,
what can't be felt.
I don't need to show,
what I can't share.
This deadly foe,
my mind the scene.
This deadly foe,
no justice dealt.
The deadly foe,
with not a prayer.
My mind the subject,
always in despair.
My heart the project,
in need of repair.
My eyes the portal,
always skyward.
I am but a mortal,
My life but a reward.
Closing my eyes now,
The final breath already exhaled,
As the curtains close i take my final bow,
Only now do i wonder if i failed.
The light appears heavenward,
And the darkness down below,
I float towards my only reward,
Redemption for crimes committed long ago.
If I go down far enough, I wonder,
Would I end up back on top?
Soon i'll be thrown under,
from the cliff I once stood atop
Wading through the sea's of despair,
I emerge to face the demon himself,
Floating on his throne of souls unaware,
I looked him in the eye and saw myself.
The mirror exploded with a burst of fire,
Seven sins committed by the horseman four,
The glass refracted the face of the liar,
I realised I couldn't take it anymore.
How to commit when I was already dead,
I swam and swam until I found the shore,
Then I turned and saw how far I had fled,
Without hesitation I dived through the door.
Back on the cross was I,
Condemned for crimes I didn't commit,
The demon laughed as lighting lit the sky,
Soon I too began to see his wit.
To die again and again,
As the saviour did,
A pawn in the game that has no name,
Revenge for what the gods have hid.
So this is what hell is, I mused,
The demon left me to find my peace,
Battered, bruised and confused
Quietly my existence began to cease.
Closing my eyes now,
The final breath already exhaled,
As the curtains close i take my final bow,
Only now do i wonder if i failed.
A feeling of deja vu seen from a distance,
The remains of the demons wit reappear,
Surely I had led a different existence,
Free from all of this fear.
The silent music that I can hear,
it whispers into this unknowing ear.
Twisting and deceiving my thoughts,
making me feel different and distraught.
This music that plays,
constant and out of sight,
wraps around my mind in unsound ways,
throughout all of the unheard night.
The notes echo in my head
so fast and confused its hard to keep track.
The noises are screaming at me to mislead,
I just want to have my life back.
The songs suddenly comes to an end,
though another is already being composed.
I can't think nor comprehend,
for my eyes have finally closed.
Every time I look in the mirror
