Beauty of Decay

Another combat
Another reason to compete
Without this kind of war
I would never be complete
I made a new start
Subconsciously surrendered
To my bittersweet art
Doing what I have to do
I know that you are testing me
I'm stronger than I ever thought I'd be
The beauty of decay
Like a match that fires up
Then dies away
The beauty of decay
A falling star that burns so bright
Then fades away
A primal force that's taking all
I've got to spare
Trembling deep within
I'm bleeding with a heart to bear
I know that you are testing me
I'm stronger than I ever thought I'd be
The beauty of decay
Like a match that fires up
Then dies away
The beauty of decay
A falling star that burns so bright
Then fades away
The beauty of decay
Makes me feel alive to know
The price to pay
The beauty of decay
How I wish to stay to see another day
