Release

Annihilate the silence

Initiate the violence

I won’t bow to my tyrants

Wake me up,  pour me out,

My body succumbs to this fear and doubt

The warm froth of pain, bubbling from the recesses of my soul

I’ve made it to the river, now it’s time to pay the toll

Copper discs to cover my eyes,this journey now almost complete

The joy I emit, just a cloak of deceit

This is the end of the line

My sentence is up, I’ve served my time

Through the burning wreckage of defeat

I emerge to seek this release

Shadows fade into relief

As time passes so will the grief

Standing in the sun, absorbing timeless light

Waiting for the bell, to end this fight

I hold the hammer in my hand

Ready to strike, erasing all accounts of this man
