Trial By Combat
Trial By Combat
Trial by combat...
A lesson learned by bridges burned
Now my life's devoid of contact
A stinging sweat drips along these wounds as I rot within my lonely tomb
The pain is all that accompanies me within my lonely solitude
A heart in despair breaks the silence of this deafened acoustrall plain
I cry out for her but I doubt she's listening all the same
It is though I never existed and she's already forgotten my name
These battles waged for glory end in shame
For once again I have been conquered by love, fooled by a pretty face and lovely frame
She made a mess of me
Used up what was left of me
and laid to rest the best of me
I've pleaded my case, presented the evidence
Fought till my cause was no longer relevant
The jury found me "Guilty" when she should've been on trial
Convinced by her sweet nature and impeccable smile
Manipulated me into taking blame for our demise
You had the nerve to lie, sneak and cheat then look me in my eyes, tell me you love me and would for the rest of our lives
Trial by combat...
The sentence is death and she gets to swing the axe
Behead the head of the heart and love is left for dead
No resurrections this time for my love has reached it's climactic end
