Shackled Time

by Samayo_Kaze

Summary:

Okay so this is a darker song involving characters from Danny Phantom, but y'all have to guess who. It's a part of a story I'm writing, so there will be some context later. Hopefully. It's pretty great though.

 

 

You where young when I first met you

Just a child, only four

Orphaned, snatched away

Torn from your family evermore

 

Life, she granted you no rest

Blood on your blades, guns in your hands

When you met me in the dark

Blood on my lips and a heavy heart

 

 

 

But ask me not of secrets

That I may tell no lies

Chains rest heavy on my neck

As the Cathedral echoes loud

 

I hear them in the distance

Ever closer crawl their cries

And all whom come to check

Find me shackled in the night

 

 

 

I have watched you from the shadows

Knowledge heavy on my chest

That nothing now is hallowed

As you flee from their test

 

You ran across the country

Fled across the ocean wide

Changed your life and lived humbly

And prayed that you could hide

 

 

 

So ask me not of secrets

That I may tell no lies

Chains rest heavy on my neck

As the Cathedral echoes loud

 

I hear them in the distance

Ever closer crawl their cries

And all whom come to check

Find me shackled in the night

 

 

 

You ran as far as you could go

Settled in that city small

But it wasn’t far enough

It was there that you would fall

 

 

 

So ask me not of secrets

That I may tell no lies

Chains rest heavy on my neck

As the Cathedral echoes loud

 

I hear them in the distance

Ever closer crawl their cries

And all whom come to check

Find me shackled in the night

 

 

 

If you burn, we burn together

Chocking on black air

And the flames go on forever

Burning up your last prayer

 

When your last day eclipses

We raise a toast to our farewell

And blood spills from your lips

As poison dries on mine as well

 

 

 

Please ask me not of secrets

That I may tell no lies

Chains rest heavy on my neck

As the Cathedral echoes loud

 

I hear them in the distance

Ever closer crawl their cries

And all whom come to check

Find me shackled in the night

 

 

 

Time spills out around me

I have everything, yet nothing left

And there is nothing that can save me

From these bloody wounds you’ve left

 

 

 

So ask of me no secrets

Lest I tell to you of lies

And these chains I choose around me

This Cathedral’s empty now

 

There is no one in the distance

None can hear my silent cries

And only Time still cares to find me

Still shackled in the night
