Of Once Was, Could've Been (for my brother)

Realms of unending hopes and lies,
betrays me to its last unties.
I rally the earth to shake all of you
and matter what's best to all I undo.
Try to thieve my pleasure and dream,
chilling echoes will tear destiny's seam.
Good and bad is what I'll have,
to prize this cold beyond its laugh.
Take away your sorrow's creed
and bless this holy spirit's need.
Beneath my soul lies a silent light,
seeking its life to thrive at night.
Shed these tears forever more
and I'll wake free of this nightmare's war.
Betray your enemy's silent walk,
a skeleton's key will tempt to lock.
Hello my evils and all you've done,
your shares are forbidden of what is none.
The of once was and could've beens,
takes my hand in self defense.
Forgive my sins and frightened cries,
for darkness passes I've said my goodbyes.
