This Curse Of Mine

(album: Riddles, Ruins & Revelations - 2021)

I walk through our time
With my head held high
I've faced all my demons head on
I've faltered and failed
But always prevailed
Manifold battles I've won

I've seen through the darkness
I've conquered the night
I've followed the path of my choice
When life takes me on
I'm driven and strong
I'm poised for the battles to come

I'll battle addiction to the end of time
There's no benediction for this curse of mine
Unfold affliction, it's my inner war
The warfare rages on and on and on

I walk through each night
With my head held down
I've faced all my demons alone
Every time I have failed
And never prevailed
Each and every battle was lost

I fell in the darkness
Was mazed, I was blind
Never found the path of my choice
When life takes me on
I barely hang on
All hope is now long since gone

I'll battle addiction to the end of time
There's no benediction for this curse of mine
Unfold affliction, it's my inner war
The warfare rages on and on and on

The burden of time
Weighs heavy on your mind
In search of a sign
You cannot seem to find

I'll battle addiction to the end of time
There's no benediction for this curse of mine
Unfold affliction, it's my inner war
The warfare rages on and on

I'm losing this battle, it's out of control
For years it's been taking its toll on my soul
Broken in body, I'm broken in mind
The end drawing near, life pass me by
