Tarnished Lovers

Breaking down the barriers,
of lovers become enemies.
Love of the forsaken,
the flames of hate ablaze.
Drink the fire water.
Tarnished souls awaken.

Breaking down the barriers,
fear controlling our minds.
Eager eyes fall upon the broken,
no longer filled with emotion.
Hatred flows within your gaze.
Tarnished souls awaken.

Breaking down the barriers,
oh how scarred your soul sits.
Falling back to hold yourself upright,
a heart severed controlling your plight.
Tears remain stagnant.
Tarnished souls awaken.

Breaking down the barriers,
the holy man prays for you now.
A lack of guidance diminishes might,
due diligence releasing the light.
Pain reminding us we still feel.
Tarnished souls awaken.

Breaking down the barriers,
the sickness we created laughing now.
You cling at threads,
while I tie the noose.
The tables have turned.
Tarnished souls awaken.

Breaking down the barriers,
everything has changed now.
But a shell we are,
love bled from the soul.
We will both stay waiting.
Our tarnished souls have awakened.
