Journey Into My Ill Mind: Path of Blood

by Jack Nightengale   Mar 29, 2013


'twas a simple plan that he had,
All was going smooth until he slipped and it all went bad.
First came the left and then the right,
All seemed to be lost in this deadly fight.

Knocked unconscious he felt himself falling,
Then everything stopped once the Dark Mother started calling.

Dark Mother:
"My dear little Monster, I made you a king,
The more blood you shed, the greater the song that the children will sing."

It was almost as if he had heard this before,
Separating his soul from the monster so that he could fight a little more.
"Dark Mother, I believe this belongs to you,
This was the reason my loyalty was never true."

"Also, this is a gift for you,
My heart has stopped beating because its been beaten black and blue."
Without a word, in the steady silence, she took the soul and his heart,
Allowing the monster to be awakened once the soul was a great distance apart.

Regaining his conscience, still standing tall,
One devastating punch to his enemy's and he watched hi fall.
Fist raining down like a storm causing a flood,
The Monster has finally chosen his path, and it's covered in blood.

It's been seven years to this very day,
Seven long years since he's been chained up and locked away.
Though the chains remain the Monster has broken free,
That monster has been awakened inside me!

    Oh my monster, how beautiful your shackles unchained.

    But to our Mistress, my love is more profound. I will not let you have her, nor will I let her have you. In Swedish, jealousy is called "Black Sickness", and my sickness truly is black.

    But your path isn't written. Fate holds no meaning. I will change it. I will steal your monstrosity and carry it on my heavy shoulders and my broken back. I will put you in shackles again, this You does not belong among the Free -- for the monster shackled and chained is the truly free one. She made you King but I will steal your throne.

    The Throne belongs to queens, the patriarchs will be undone -- I will rewrite the stars and rewrite Fate, for nothing is set in stone.

    A siren you call me, for I beckon disaster and loss. And I will sing love songs to your kingdom come undone. I will steal the Mistress from you, for I am the queen, and I will destroy her reign -- for my love for her daughter puts your destructive monster to shame

    O'er the cries of blood and carnage I sing, to lure monsters right in, and awakened though you might be, I will pull you towards me, and I will hold scissors stronger than Atropos, and I seek to cut the bonds between thee and thy awakening let loose and free.
