A Silhouette Now Vanquished

[DeezyType]

Friend, reach out for my hand

I have been there, Hell-Fire beneath me, the wrong side of Heaven

Reach out for my hand

See my scars and stay away from the man in the mirror

Don't you remember where I have been?

Close to death, blinding darkness,

Life succumbed to suicide

 

 

I've walked alone in a desolate wasteland

I've watched Angels fall, held there arms, put up my walls

A fortress made from a false reality

I was alone; dying alone

 

 

I was lost, made my life a living hell

Inebriated, reciprocated, full of sorrow; couldn't you tell?

But now you've strayed away just like me

Helplessly ignorant, arrogantly addicted

 

 

Friend, reach out for my hand

I have been there, Hell-Fire beneath me, the wrong side of Heaven

Reach out for my hand

See my scars and stay away from the man in the mirror

Don't you remember where I have been?

Close to death, blinding darkness,

Life succumbed to suicide

 

 

He swims in the wake of The Forsaken

And he seeks little redemption

Ignorant to the path he follows

Has he fallen for the Devil's grin?

There is a demon, whispering in his ear

Who speaks in tongues in which only he may comprehend

 

 

Succubus! Stay away, for he knows not of what he does

Innocence, nothing less is the the only thing that may please

Succubus! Let him free, turn your wickedness to me

For I've fought this battle before, my mind has no room for a whore

 

 

Bring your whip, bring your flame, I'll bring nothing but my own burdened shame

I'll give my power to another, and in Hell I will bring you your slaughter

Sling your whip, whisper wishes of lust, you dare?

Then I'll grab your neck, crack it back, pull out your spine; You're mine!

Let those souls you sucked dry leak out from your jugular

The vengeance in my eyes shines bright here in Hell

But this is no place for me, for I've had my share

 

 

Friend, reach out for my hand

I have been there, Hell-Fire beneath me, the wrong side of Heaven

Reach out for my hand

See my scars and stay away from the man in the mirror

This is not what you desire

The imagery is strong. My visual interpretation would be of an album cover of some death metal band.

[DeezyType]

Thank you, and yea, I'm into heavy stuff, but this is mainly the only song that I write that would have to be a heavy song.

I imagined Avenged Sevenfold doing this one. Perhaps Megadeth.

Glad I wasn't the only one seeing speed/death metal.
