Haunted

Haunted days
Peace bygone
Darkened skies
Broken mind
Distant cries
Hope forlorn
Distraught frays

To believe,
Is to believe your lies
You deceive,
Until our world dies

You utter empty promises,
Paint white over the black
Draw a picture of distortion;
Flood memories of past

An angel in black you appear,
Hunt your prey in the night
Light-bringing days have gone astray,
As fades the water of life

Whatever cost,
Destroyed wills you've wanted
Forever lost,
In our souls we're haunted

A life of broken agreements,
Forced me to come unglued
Your treason of another pawn;
More scapegoats to abuse

A stab in the back you attack,
I no longer respond
A void of emptiness and pain,
You will forever haunt

Hunted prey
Dreams forsworn
Sincere lies
Divine blind
Obscure prize
Grim eon,
These my haunted days
