Hallow

The past comes crawling back to haunt you
Forgotten faces seeking vengeance for your crimes
Emblazoned with fiery conviction in their hearts
They stalk you at every turn

You try not to see
The horrifying reality
Of this life you've chosen to cherish

Hallow your heart, hallow your soul
Glory in death means never growing old
Pray to God from some control
Cast off your battle scars and hallow your soul

The ashen taste of defeat reminds you
Of yesteryears and yesterdays that still burn in your mind
The cold feel of metallic death presses against your skin
This is the last chance to repent

You feel their fury
As it bites into you
Once thriving, now you perish

It's time to say good-bye
Ticking away the final hour
I feel it
No more tears to hide behind
My final victim is me

Hallow your heart, hallow your soul
Glory in death means never growing old
Pray to God from some control
Cast off your battle scars and hallow your soul
