A Mockery of Sin

And before,
It was only you
Who I had to defeat.

But now I see
A new enemy in sight.
And I don't
Know who I am,
In this battle,
I am the faceless
Participant.

And when you fight with me,
I wonder;
What are you thinking behind that mask you wear?

That mask,
That made me believe,
And now I doubt.

As I stand in front of your hidden face.

Do you remember it all?
The smiles.
The tears.
The laughter

We shall never laugh again.

Hidden faces in this rain,
We know not what we will face
Tomorrow.

And,
In coming home,
Are we giving up on dreams we never knew?

And before,
It was only you
Who I had to defeat.

But now I see others fighting your cause,
You are the silent King,
But where is your Queen?

When this certain faceless warrior wins,
Who will come back fighting,
When the King is dead..?

Sky's turning back to red
With all the blood you spilled.
Ground growing cold
With the lack of feeling left to feel;
Nothing left in you.

Like the beer drank quickly,
Stolen from your tongue.

Air taken from our lungs so quickly.

Oh, jeweled enemy of mine,
Do I believe in you?
No,
I never really did,
Never have,
Never will.

Best to let it die quietly;
Squirming behind locked doors.

A mockery of sin.
