One Step Backward

Clothed in storms of destruction
I was viciously rampant, wickedly wild.
The eye of tempests
I was more of a god than a child.

But somehow you found me
Somehow you came
You reached up toward me
And brushed my face
With wings of cold fire that burns on inside me
An unending flame.

I was a ruler of nightmares;
They made me their king.
But you gave me a crooked brass crown
And told me I was nothing.

Didn't understand a word you said
But somehow the beat of your heart
Scarred inside my head
I didn't know fear, but you made me paranoid
Your image wavered within my black void.

I was of fire, I was of wind
A master of chaos bound only to whim.
But you who are of earth, you who are of water.
You seized my soul and made me your martyr.

I want to understand
What you're telling me
Take my hand
Lead me on
Let me stand

Agony ravaged my body; Death kissed my lips
You glanced and smiled
Then you left
Agony is my creed; Death became my hands
But the caress in your eyes
Conquered my heart
It rules my head.

I wanted to run
But I couldn't leave
The breath on your lips
Was a silent plea.

I am the shadows; I am the dark.
You are the light that shattered my heart.
