Part 1 here (part 2 is better with the context … at least I hope it is)
Scorched Earth
Longer
Hold on
Just a little longer
There’s light at the end of this tunnel
I know
Because I put it there
The last time I pushed through
Demon
I’ve personified you
given you form and face
for my sake
as ether
as void
there is only
how you hurt me
as creature
as demon
you can bleed
I can put you to the flames
Reason
While you were away
I hardened my body
with Iron
Nurtured my soul
with Hope
Filled my heart
with Love
