Ladder To The Steeple

Forever In Effigy


Tonight please keep me somewhere safe 
no one will look 
She wants me for the things that i have done to her 
I must make it 
Away from reaching hands 
Sanctuary 
Save me from my own madness 

Meet me under painted glass 
with my shame 
cleanse the blood off of my hands 
from the betrayed 

An eye for an eye 
a grave for the graves 
of many 
a war to be fought 
to write back the wrongs 
the price must be paid 

Unquestioned repercussions 
oh god whats in store for me 
Astra let light befriend me 
When the night sky leaves 

She stands to greet me with arms unopened 
beneath honest arches a piercing vengance
