Ritual

Cold steel upon my skin
The ritual begins
A kiss before my last goodbye
War with demons of my sin
Tear me from within
A scar to show my pain was life

I've seen mothers fight with death
Touched the scars my cancer left
Stolen faith from the blackest souls
Filled the coffins watch them cry
Seven angels with their lonely eyes

Cold steel upon my skin
The ritual it ends
The shotgun is my last goodbye
Blood, blood upon the walls
The pictures never fall
A stain to show my pain was life

I've seen mothers fight with death
Touched the scars my cancer left
Stolen faith from the blackest souls
Filled the coffins watch them cry
Seven angels with their lonely eyes
