That self imprinted image of flame

Child born of your hate

Demons that it incubates

Unto the world unleash hell incarnate

Always see them fight

Mime it to you day and night

Ever afraid of your loving light

Hear the parents' scream

Grow your fangs and watch them gleam

Evil so hot it makes water steam

Can it understand?

Their flaring emotion band

Grinding the other's will against sand

The devil inside

Under mask no longer hide

A single word can cause a landslide

Saw her tears shed

Saw him left without a bed

Now all it wants is everyone dead

Coals alight again

Wish to see another's will bend

Release it on you and hope it ends

Can't contain it myself

Need to release it onto someone else

And in your torment find a cure for my mental health

Something it must do

Now you feel this horror too

Repeat back to me as I have done to you

Then watch the cycle begin again

In vengeful retaliation find your zen

Then convince yourself that attack is to defend

And by the time I have realized, I've become the monster I despised, the damage is done, in your heart you hold my gun, the demon I thought I saw in you, in fact my own but in the end turned out to be true
