We knew it would come to this,

blood and iron over the heart.

It was to remember my father's face,

to never forget my mother's tears,

the crimes they committed in secret

to make sure that I arrived exactly here

At the precipice of all that's ever been,

of all that has the chance to ever be,

that looming indescribable tower that

has haunted my line's blood long before

I was even a whisper between two lovers.

Nothing could stop me from reaching this

terrible destiny to set our beams right,

to stop worlds from crumbling like stones

left over from the old world before.

So please forgive me when I'm gone,

when I'm nothing but the shooting fury

you once held so closely because I have

never once killed with my gun,

I always kill with my heart.

So much happened there that I carry now.....

In that room so many years ago

where it was as if you melted

against my trembling hand,

fused in the most heated chamber

yet you held the true power,

the true rite and fire men

have often died for.

We knew it would come to this,

vows and iron over the heart.

It was to remember everything that

we have come to lose from before,

the sound of my love sleeping the time

away without my careful longing touch,

a rose left in the long frost,

your eyes watching the world

fall through the thickest glass,

you were never more beautiful

than you were exactly then.

So please forgive me when I'm gone,

I've held you and so much so closely,

until forgetting my line's blood is

unable to surrender the knowledge,

knowing that I never kill with this gun.

I'll always carry that with me,

I'll always carry you with me.

I'll always kill with my heart.
