Crucible of Worlds

Misery loves me

We're one in the same

Bound together

By the eternal flame

A level of discomfort

That hits too close to home

Abandoned by the free world

And everything you've ever known

Old wounds become fresh

Tender hearts take their final bow

My joy turns to anguish

Too far gone to be saved now

Misery

Your pain brought you here

From broken realities

Guarded by the chains of desire

Serpent tongues have cut you down

Misery

Save your breath

Mercy forgotten

I have become

All pain has to offer

Cruelty reigns in my own hell

Blood drips from the altar

Absolution through aching

The eternal scorn

Absolution through suffering

I am reborn
