Beaten Lyrics

Loom above the corpse
Dripping from closed fists
Soaked inviscous fluids
Body still convulsing
The sensation remains, frantic exhalation

Gaze upon the wreckage
The battle fought
No comfort finds me
Only hollowness

What's to become of me now?
Where is my enemy?
What foe to vanquish? What peak to climb?
Where is my zenith?
Vanishing point?
War waged, all for naught?

The lost, lost always
The taken, forever taken
The space within my skin; my kingdom, my prison
Lay in ruin

No vigor renews the shattered
No effort can hope to rebuild me
Vortex at the core where I am cast to suffer fate
And yet I am freed
