The Pledge


I swore to the Lords I would believe
Between then and now, I've lost sight
The moon
The night
Twisted faces distort my sight

I looked into many of empty eyes
Eternities pass in parallel planes
Bad timing
Then flames
Flickering tongues and deadly games

I took the pledge, I failed
Into a path full of truth and betrayal
Sad song
Blistering hail
Then I feast on the decomposing entrails

I took the punishment to my grave
Between then and now, I suffered for many
Big lies
Scraping pennies
Licking up the blood of some other entity
