You can see it in his eyes
The blood from his past boiling up again
As much as he's endured before, it all comes back
Spins 'round his head to blur the world
No lines are clear and nothing is simple
While time slows and he wishes each breath to stop
The hard soil under his feet lifts up
Like the Earth mocks him in its knowledge
All the trees sway against the blowing wind
As if to say they were better than him
Every person walks past mocking him
Uprooting the memories long packed away
The old bruises resurface from every shot he took
While his green eyes flash silver with coldness
The sparkle that is seen in the lighter days vanishes
Only to be replaced with an devilish flame
To show the pits of Hell he has climbed from
Him and all the people that clung to his feet
Hoping that they might too escape their pasts
But that is never so, the elders wrote it clearly
The only way to save yourself is through yourself
And the only thing he never had
Was the crutch every other person has through life
Because he walks alone down the blackened road.
