Peace

Escape the evil torrent

That dwells within thy soul

Set forth to find peace

That, longs for, does thy mind

Careful not to slip and fail

To see so closely you have come

To the goal you seek

So desperately to achieve

Blood runs cold as the heat

Of a summers day threatens

To destroy you and the likeness

You share with the other predators

You seek the light in the darkening shadow

Only to accommodate for the pain you've caused

To seek the agonizing pleasure of death

In your bloody fangs and claws

Befalls your victim it has

The helpless are limp and willing

Dead from the first bite

Your old friend is strong

Fighting for the freedom

Of body and spirit

From the evil that has become of you

Never let go, never let go

Keep holding on and feeding

Until your old friend strikes

The last, fatal blow

Down you fall, death has claimed you

A grim smirk crosses your face

Your love is deceased beside you

You cannot hide the joy you feel

For you have finally claimed

That last frontier of peace

You have longed for, so many years

Closed eyes, peaceful and gentle

Your old friend is no longer afraid

Your old friend knows the truth

That you are freed from your

Burden of pain and suffering

Still and silent

You have made your escape
