Hostias

For a moment I am centered

For a moment I am free

For a moment I can close my eyes

And be who I want to be

A great unholy sacrifice

To keep the grave at bay

A promise I have broken

To those I have betrayed

A war torn will my heart has left

To mend the one I love

But a thing that cannot justify

This monster I've become

The ties that tightly bind us

Immutably grow weak

I hope you know the things you love

Are the things you cannot keep

Listen close to what I've said

As I fade to black

I'll always be right there with you

Someday I'm coming back

(Hostias is latin for 'sacrifices')
