Dark forces lurk in us all
Undeniable and Unconquerable
Hidden just out of sight
Hidden just behind your shadow
With the darkest secret that can be known
The one that keeps your heart whole
The angel will always burn
The poor selfless martyr
Tied to the stake
Left on the pyre
For no just cause
They burn willingly for others sins
Forever burned into history as damned
The past may be set in stone
Locked in pastoral scenes
Not seen in glorious illumination
But shadows of the past
Shadows of the heart
The ghost of pure intention
A ghost that will never be again.
But history will always repeat itself
A broken record that heralds doom
A cyclical sickle of mankind's folly
The joke without the laughter
The future that's already the past
Together with our misery and our innocence
We march into the reinvented once upon a time.
The hunter will always be hunted
The angel will always burn
The past may be set in stone
But history will always repeat itself
