[ blackbird / martyr ] ...
I have lost my way among the pallid stars,
caught amidst the conflict of love's wars,

[ morlock ] ...
Loneliness is a silent killer,
it hunts my soul this night
And without you, my angel
I won't survive this fight

[ ara / satire + kfmf ] ...
A promise was given not too long ago,
that gives me the strength to survive
The Spirit of truth through me does flow
With it I know I'm alive.

[ justice / martyr ] ...
We have longed, long ago for the blessings of each other,
now our blessings have turned to tears, 
tears of the troubled longing for the days of longing.

[ blackbird / martyr ] ...
what once existed were the mirrors of my contentment,
fond memories upon which during my sadder days I may lament,
sins undesired which I cannot regret or repent,

[ morlock ] ...
Ever forced to struggle on
We can't remember why we try
Will our glory ever dawn?
Or are we doomed to slowly die?...

[ ara / satire + kfmf ] ...
Salvation a feat, we cannot achieve,
All that's required is to believe.
