Lyrics

Bilingual
You take my breath away
But I'll never again taste your lips
As fate keeps me locked away
I must close my eyes to see your face
Emptiness has darkened my eyes
As I hopelessly beg for my life to end, tell my why?
My iron eyes tell the tale
Heroes always pay in their blood
I can be only this
I see the fear growing in their lost eyes
My purpose is so clear I am the ax
I am the ax and this is why I must not fear the end
And when I'm gone will you forget me?
Pen wears its steady course across the page
Resigned to its designs to take the hive
Emptiness has darkened my eyes
As I hopelessly beg for my life to end, tell my why?
(I wish I could make you see, I wish I could make you see through the pain)
(Through the end, I wish I could make you see the greater purpose)
(That I have to serve, no one else will fight, no one else will fight, so I must)
My iron eyes tell the tale
Heroes always pay in their blood
I can be only this
I am the ax
Fear has been lost to faith!
The darkest night has come before the end!
Of which we must prevail!
Amidst the pitch of steel we shall arise!
I will destroy all those who oppose me!
My iron eyes tell the tale
Heroes always pay in their blood!
My iron eyes tell the tale
Heroes always pay in their blood!
I can be only this!
I see the fear growing in there!
