A blessing in tragedy

Burning what's left in effigy

Wreckage, when there's nothing left

Wreckage, the birthright of regret

A place where truth can hide

A place where fallen egos can survive

A place where fear rusts through pride

A place where heroes go to die

Self delusion, self destruction

Falling so short of faith

An empty shell

A carcass left of greed

An empty shell

In the shade grows another weed

And you wear the scars well

Merciless liar

How many times till your shadow haunts you too?
