From within is

A blazing flame

Forging its path

To an empty rage

Tongues of flame

Touch liquid walls

Ash rains down

While steam blurs the line

A door, opened

By the hand of pity

Marking the test

Of my delusioned pride

Twisting, dancing

Under my master's will

No lies were needed

To tell me to kill

What I didn't expect

Was love, of all things

To look me in the eyes

Unflinchingly real

For the first time

I was not judged

By what I loved to do

I wouldn't have blamed you

I can never give up

This burning instinct inside

But now, a hopeful ember

Takes a clearer shape.
