The Sacrifice

A single look upon a shadow's crystal eyes

Reveals only a darkness that bleeds eternal

Covering up the light that remains in scars

Hidden behind the veil of the sacrifice

A glance upon wings of the devil's angel

Shows rips and shreds among dark feathers

Masking the purity that burns underneath

Concealed by the mask of the sacrifice

A glimpse of hands spread into the dark sky

Displaying marks and gashes freshly made

Holding the tears he captured and shed

Obscured by the pain of the sacrifice

Gazing into the past of a shadow's sad eyes

Reveals a joyful soul that turned to black

Caring for the demons that walk the Earth

Opening his heart to make the sacrifice
