ALTAR OF THE DEAD

[Verse 1]
A story has to end for a new one to begin
In order to lay it to rest, one must learn to forgive
And I'm cleaning the impurities that begrimed my beating heart
Out with immaturities, I'm done dealing with the heartbreak

[Verse 2]
What would you do if I died tomorrow?
Would you send me roses or get on with the notion that I'm not worth your sorrow?
There's a certain blackness in your heart
It's been hidden from the naked eye
But I could sense it in your scowl or every time you shout
Or the times your sadness drowned you
You'd been drowned

[Verse 3]
I'm taking flight, untethered from the soil that's been splashed with bad blood
Virgin is the light, violent is the void, I'd rather be alright than get myself destroyed
I'm taking back the power of love
I'd love, love, love

[Bridge]
I'd rather love than take you down
I'd rather forgive than forget this all

[Chorus/Outro]
'Cause love is powerful, love is powerful
Love is powerful, love is powerful
Love does good things
