Goodness fades like Yesterday

Songtext

Dear oh dear I made a sphere

Called Earth so real so full of fear

A place of pain yet grace so near

Forgiveness whispers in my ear

 

So why oh why do I still fight

When mercy shines so pure and bright

You gaze at me with trusting sight

Your love disarms my endless spite

 

I crush my face between my hands

My own design now owns my plans

Why did I seek this wicked chance

Now vengeance burns like molten brass

 

Goodness fades like yesterday

Darkness walks with me to stay

My ruin grins in bright display

I'll kill my demons my own way

 

No saint am I just teeth and claws

A monster shaped by cruel laws

Touched by fire against my cause

Now hell becomes my righteous cross

 

This world exorcises pain

My hate devours like acid rain

Nothing feels true in this domain

Who dares to judge my crimson stain

 

Goodness fades like yesterday

Darkness walks with me to stay

My ruin grins in bright display

I'll kill my demons my own way

 

My son reflects my sinful past

Dancing bold before my mask

I laugh until my breath runs fast

Welcome home my shadow cast

 

Let's fly away to celebrate

My twisted triumph sealed by fate

No curse cuts deeper than their state

Their own designs now suffocate

 

Don't beg for kindness from my hands

My cruelty built these iron bands

I am the nightmare that commands

But devil's game now ends my stand

 

Goodness fades like yesterday

Darkness walks with me to stay

My ruin grins in bright display

I'll kill my demons my own way
