My Own Sacrifice - After All

See the clouds divide

Remove myself from sight

Times I’ve fallen

Into pools of remorse

Dark sandy beaches

Thorns hurt my side

I realize my own sacrifice

No gun to play with

No bullets flying around

Not done to me

As I stand my ground

A sea of twisted shapes

White lines between them

The waves of passion

Collide in the stars

A dark and twisted tale

Of halves and of wholes

I realize my own sacrifice

As I reach my target

I back down again

For this is my playground

For sinners and saints

Lay down my face

Surrender heart and soul

Glide down the pathway

To a certain fall

No fear to enter

Just to end it all

I realize my own sacrifice
