Venom Upon the Blade - Fallujah

Tempting my veins

With the venom upon the blade

The heart commanding the mind as a slave

Searching for hope in this desperate place

Can anguish control my fate?

Does the hatred inside numb infectious pain?

Hope is the myth of the weaker man’s dreams

Searching for comfort and peace

Tempt my flesh

Take my breath

Wishing everything away

Take the venom from my veins

Wishing for death

To suffer in hell

I’d deny the gates

If they welcomed me

We are safely told

Believe in warmth of touch

We trust in others words

But they are not ours

Whispers in the air

Bargaining for the soul

The venom upon the blade

Breaks the voices hold
