No
Relief
Breathe slow
Breathe slow

So
You Fall
You Crawl
Withdraw

Slow
Relief
Breathe slow
Watch it fall

These violent throes
One final warning
Through passive indifference
It crumbles like sand

Witness it seize and convulse
As your empire lies
Gasping for air
And let it fuel you
As it once consumed you

This creeping sensation
Like melting ice
As floods of deliverance
Wash over like rising tides
A sigh of relief
Escapes from your lips as you picture
An end to this this nightmare
Shedding this husk of iniquity
Transcending this ghastly form eternally

A moment to witness
One final sunrise
The hangman tightens
His grip on the rope

This creeping sensation Like melting ice
(Trickles down your spine)
As floods of deliverance
Wash over like rising tides

A sigh of relief
Escapes from your lips as you picture
An end to this this nightmare
Shedding this husk of iniquity
Transcending this ghastly form eternally
