Let the sun shine

The dark fire awakens
When flames are cast away
Shred pieces of a life
Too few to make a decent stay

Closed eyes still see
Deeds that can't be undone
Birds caught in leather straps
A single hand to kill the sun

Broken tears to mend
Wounds that weren't there before
Striptease on my bare shoulders
I can't feel the difference anymore

All those harsh words
You yelled but dreaded to do
Whips slapping on diabolic wings
Your blindness is our final foe
