Awake
It's around midnight
I have fallen fast asleep
The scars of my past rotting my body and mind..
Locked away within myself..
Awake
Something I have yet to do
Locked inside this dark dream
Weighed down by shackles
Refusing let me free
Who am I?
I'm supposed to be strong
Supposed to be brave
To have no weakness
Yet I doubt my own existance? ..
Awake
It's getting darker
The light is fading
I chase after it, only to find myself held in place
By these dark chains..
Just what exactly am I doing?
Holding myself here?
When there are so many things that hold me dear..
Something in me is pulsing
I have to get out of here..
Awake
I have had enough!
I have had enough of being held captive
Locked inside This dark dream
It's time I break these weights
Break away from these dark chains..
My friends
My family
My love
Even my enemy
Are all waiting for me!
My howl..
My once dying howl...
Must be heard again!
My dead flames must burn again!
No longer!
For I shall rise again..
Awake..
My heart is pumping again
The strength that has once left me..
Has finally returned..
My body is Heating up once more..
My blood is flowing..
All that I have lost is slowly returning to me.
I can't lose it again!
I will no longer be held here..
My time is near..
My mind is now clear
I have shed my last tear
No longer! !
I'm done with this prison!
Done with the sorrow! !
Done with the pain! ! !
Done with the fear! ! ! !
It's almost time
For must break out of here..
Awake
The weight has been lifted
Theses dark chains now lie here..broken..
My life is being shifted
The darkness is now drifting..
My heart placed back together
I have to get back to the fight
But I must first pursue the light
Awake
I take to my feet
As fast as I can go
I refuse to slow down
For it is away from here I must go!
The light is inching closer
I can feel its warmth..
Calling for me to return to the ones who care
For it is a newfound strength I bear...
Awake
I have made it through the dark dream
The light remains only but a few paces in front of me!
But there's one thing that blocks my path
My very essence from the past
His eyes empty and cold
His pulse absent
His fists clenched with death
For he draws no breath..
Frustration, sadness, rage, and hate have consumed him
His face remained blank
His spirit giving off a black and evil mist
He bears a black rose in his hand
Giving it a deadly kiss
Deadly bliss..
It is myself..my evil half..
From all those years of torture..
The tears..
The pain..
It is my evil self that stands in my way..
I have to seal him away
For all the things he has done
I must make him pay! ! ! !
Awake! !
My strength
My courage
My power
My knowledge
My spirit
My beating heart
Have returned to me..
I have came this far
I won't let it fall apart! !
I look into his eyes
Into the eyes where all dreams and hopes die..
Into the darkness that was once myself..
Those same eyes that held me captive
Within that dark cell..
That cold and dark void of hell..
I have to end it
Right here
Right now! ! !
For you I will no longer bow
Awake
We run at each other
Our fists clenched
Our teeth gnashed
Our spirits about to crash
Our minds made up
But different paths chosen..
A path of death and a path life
A spirit of peace and a spirit of strife
A heart of fire and heart of ice
Clashing—locked In a decisive battle
Awake! !
Our fists collide
Heavy blows being given
Heavy blows being taken
Blood stains the ground
My spirit won't be broken!
Can't be broken! !
For I refuse to back down! ! !
My ember is continually growing
My anger surging
My power is now emerging
For all the wrong you done
Will go on no longer
For it is your dark spirit
I refuse to let exist any longer! ! !
My blows becoming stronger
I refuse to back down any longer! !
My flames surging of orange and red
This is for all the years I have bled..
My spirit showing brutality
Trying to get back to reality..
My enemy, my half, is strong
But I won't let you live for long..
Blow after blow
More beautiful flames continue to show
Blow after blow
My fiery spirit continues to grow
My spirit is rising!
My howls are being heard!
This the end! ! !
For your will I no longer bend
The flames, not of destruction, but of resolve!
Gathering within my palm
I rush at him
Bearing the flame of life
Ready to break him
However he is rushing at me..
Bearing the dark palm of death..
Our fists collide once more
A struggle of life and death..
I can't lose! !
I can't die! ! !
For this dark void I will longer lie
Hear my battle cry! ! ! !
My flames rising
Increasing! !
My dark half resistance is decreasing..
You will no longer control me! !
Enough! ! !
It's time I break from this dark prison! !
I will take back my life that I have lost! !
The dark walls are collapsing
The light is becoming brighter
My once weak ember is now a proud fire!
Awake..
My evil half lies on the ground
Sealed..
The dark realm is now a realm of light
My wings have grown
It's time to take flight
Im done with this fight..
I soar through the light
It's time I move on with my life...
Awake
My eyes have opened
I rise from my bed i once lied
I stare at myself in the mirror
It is tears of joy I now cry
I place my amulet around my neck
Stepping out of the door
Leaving behind the past
Looking upon it no more...
All the sorrow
All the pain
Sealed away within the days of old
For today I stand proud and bold
I am awake!
Hear my howl!
For no evil I will no longer bow
I am taking the path of life
For it is a long road..
So many lessons to learn
But I am no longer alone
I am awake...
