I Am Legend - The Banner

All the shadows, all the time, call me to them

Out from the light as I lay buried, burning in time

She was the setting, the weapon, the crime

I am legend, I am the end

These are the killers, they were my friends call me by name

To take my life, gone mad with hunger, but not tonight, they will not have me

Before I die they’ve come for me, my blood their prize the voices curse me

Throughout the night, eyes like lit arrows, fired through the sky

Every evil that I’ve ever known, every voice I was ever shown stalks me at my

window, claws at my window

I raise the record player to drown the screams

I black the windows so I cannot see and I face eternity alone —

This is my life minutes click like prison bars inside

Throughout the night keep track the seconds in my flesh

To clear my mind I keep the cure to my own curse, kept at my side

And reality haunts each breath I own

Escape through my minds back door or the path just down the road

This house haunted, my sins phantoms, sinners graveyard bleeds through my spine

Six feet by my own hand my own bed to lie in six silver pills in to save my mind

Angel of mercy whispers in my ear, promising everything I’d ever want to hear

Pointing the way passed tattered leather bounds

Towards a promised unseen light via unholy ground…

Her name was sunset, she wore no eyes

Her name, in pain, in stone signed

Crimson, marble, midnight sky

We once stood as towers with a summer nights shine

But there were answers to questions I just could not find

Questions burning like bridges

Like my bridge to you weighing wings down like ballast

And stinging like the truth there’ll be time

In the end to remember this too a long road lies ahead but only for you

So remember me fondly and I’ll do the same

These memories a treasure buried deep inside my brain

See I’ve done this too often, and I’ve none left to spend

But an empty chests life, is not one to live

I’m not angry, I don’t blame you and I hope that you see

That I’ll cherish this short time, like the stars above the trees

This life is an ocean and I’m lost at sea

This life is an ocean and it’s drowning me
