Blackened Steel



I am one day closer to leaving
I am one day closer to killing
I am one day closer to living
I am one day closer to die
I am one day closer to eternity
I am one day closer to forgotten realities
I am one day closer to going home
I am one day closer of not being alone
I am one day closer this you will see
I am one-day closer justice for me
I am one day closer to seeing heaven
I am one day closer to seeing hell
I am one day closer to believing
I am one day closer to know oh so well
I am one day closer and it isn't a lie
I am one day closer to being crucified
But it doesn't worry me any longer
It just makes me stronger
I am the last of my kind
A Knight of the Blackened Steel
