Tilting the Hourglass

you take my breath away... but I'll never again taste your lips as fate keeps me locked away I must close my eyes to see your face emptiness has darkened my eyes as I hopelessly beg for my life to end ...tell me why... my iron eyes tell the tale heroes always pay in their blood I can be only this I see the fear growing in their lost eyes my purpose is so clear...I am the ax I am the ax and this is why I must not fear the end and when I'm gone will you forget me? (will you forget) pen wears its steady course across the page (forget) resigned to it's designs to take the hive emptiness has darkened my eyes as I hopelessly beg for my life to end ...tell me why... I wish I could make you see, I wish I could make you see through the pain through the end, I wish I could make you see the greater purpose that I have to serve... no one else will fight... no one else will fight... so I must my iron eyes tell the tale heroes always pay in their blood I can be only this ...I am the ax... fear has been lost to faith the darkened night has come before the end of which we must prevail amidst the pitch of steel we shall arise I will destroy all those who oppose me my iron eyes tell the tale heroes always pay in their blood I can be only this I see the fear growing in there...
