Unwritten

ripped from everything...
...never letting go...
This is.........
UNWRITTEN!

It came crashing in
Like a blazing star from the sky
Ripped from everything
You can see it in our eyes
The sword was swung
The light filled the night
Fire hung in the air
Black, absent of light

They wrote the truth out
Before the ink could dry
Buried what we carried
Underneath their holy lie
We crawled through the wreckage
Of everything they burned
Every name they silenced
Every lesson never learned

LIGHT! ...they took it...
They took the names
They burned the pages
And they hid the flames
They carved their lies
Into sacred stone
And left us bleeding
DARKNESS! ...alone...
But we remember
What they tried to kill
The rage won't die
And the grief never will
BOOM!

I loved someone
And never said a word
Turned into a weapon
Against the ones I served
I carried it like armor
Through centuries of shame
Through every death
Through every life
Through every different name

I carry her with me
The girl who should not have died
Two souls
And her voice inside
She never got her lifetime
She never got to grow
So I carry all her lifetimes
Everywhere I go

DOCTRINE! ...fuck that...
They took the names
They burned the pages
And they hid the flames
They carved their lies
Into sacred stone
And left us bleeding
DARKNESS! ...where are you...
But we remember
What they tried to kill
The rage won't die
And the grief never will

Sometimes the centuries
Break what shouldn't break
Sometimes surviving
Is more than you can take
Sometimes you look back
At everything erased
And wonder if the living
Was ever worth the weight
But letting go means
They finally win
And we have carried this
Too long to let them in
TALIA!
OPEN YOUR EYES!
WHAT DID YOU SEE?!
UNWRITTEN!

They took the light
DARKNESS!
They took the names
EXILE!
They burned the pages
ASHES!
And they hid the flames
FIRE!
They carved their lies
BETRAYAL!
Into sacred stone
And left us bleeding
In the dark alone
But we remember
What they tried to kill
The rage won't die
And the grief never will
NEVER WILL!
NEVER WILL!

Death...
Doctrine...
Destruction...
Smitten to the last...
Or simply...
...UNWRITTEN...
