Tormented Diamonds

Never fuel a spark

When the last match dropped, I thought it was over.
But obsession is a dirty player in a corrupt game…
And a made man never takes without consequence.

The moment I crossed that line, free will became a bargaining chip.
One that chained Becca to everything I fought to keep her from.

Bending my promise into a vow was supposed to protect her.

However, vengeance is a wicked temptress.
She seduces lies from the honest…
Twists saints into sinners…
And turns an uptight psychiatrist into a killer.

The past has risen, and war is coming for us…
A hailstorm of bullets and blades dripping with debt.
I’ll burn this city to the ground and paint the streets red…
But it’s my queen they should all fear.

A tortured heart may be dangerous…
But a tormented one is deadly.
