Cruelty

Haunted Appalachia by Ghostbreed Labs The Mythkiller Setting Hospitality Through Imagination Lyrics by English L. Eaves Rings all in silver Voice made of smoke Eyes in the Fringes An ache in the soul To hunt what you love To kill what you hate When both of those things Stand in the same place Yesterday was your ending Heart went still in my hands Today I still grieve you Who could ever understand You were ruin and glory Like dawn to the night When stars die each morning So we have the light The memory’s still warm like your lips on my brow loving and tender But monstrous somehow Eyes like an angel Terrible and gold Heart like wildfire against loneliness cold You wanted to hold me You hungered for rest But all I could give you was merciful death You were ruin and glory Like dawn to the night When stars die each morning So we have the light My tears are like diamonds priceless and rare for the one that still breaks me when the breeze touches my hair Your wrath was a devil your fangs, ivory fate But your voice was confession when you whispered my name To fell you was cruelty the pain turned inside a burden I still carry carved deep in my hide ink to the people With eyes that can’t see The mark it left on me to set your soul free You’re my ruin and my glory Like dawn slaying the night I will carry my mourning So the blind keep the light
