Bloodoath

From the urge to seek my sources

I travel to restore

and bring myself to break down the door

I'm taken in by vicious forces

to realms of death and horror

Submersion into the underworlds at war

Must face the madness

though it hurts

Must face the blackness

though it hurts

Mortal dread's become

a drag on being one with my self

I seem to struggle with defences

and the infinity of man

threatened by the vulnerable "I am"

In every corner of my senses

there's a will to alteration

It's been haunting me ad nauseam

Must face the madness

though it hurts

Must face the blackness

though it hurts

Mortal dread's become

a drag on being one with my self

If someone's out there

I need a word for protection

And if you're out there

this oath of blood is bonded by affection

Mortal dread's become

a drag on being one with my self

Mortal dread's become

a drag on being one with all else

Mortal dread's succumbed

Mortal dread's succumbed
