By Any Means

"By Any Means"

Light a candle
With a burning match
Search my consciousness
And find the latch

Drift with the flame
Slip into my mind
In search a dark power
That I must find

I don my armor
I draw my blade
Seek out pure innocence
That must be unmade

I am the hope killer
The slayer of dreams
Silencer of wishes
By any means

They cannot survive
If I am to move on
I will hunt and purge them
Until they are gone

I pray to be forgiven
This hideous crime
For if I am not
The punishment is mine

I will have tomorrow
I will not be denied
Hope, dreams and wishes
They cannot hide

I am the hope killer
The slayer of dreams
Silencer of wishes
By any means
