memories broken

, the truth goes unspoken
I've even forgotten my name
I don't know the season or what is the reason
I'm standing here holding my blade
A desolate place (place)
Without any trace (trace)
It's only the cold wind I feel
It's me that I spite as I stand up and fight

The only thing I know for real
THERE WILL BE BLOOD (BLOOD) SHED (SHED)
THE MAN IN THE MIRROR NODS HIS HEAD
THE ONLY ONE (ONE) LEFT (LEFT)
WILL RIDE UPON THE DRAGON'S BACK
BECAUSE THE MOUNTAINS DON'T GIVE BACK WHAT THEY TAKE
OH NO, THERE WILL BE BLOOD (BLOOD) SHED (SHED)
IT'S THE ONLY THING I'VE EVER KNOWN
Losing my identity
Wondering, "Have I gone insane?"
To find the truth in front of me I must climb this mountain range
Looking downward from this deadly height and never realizing why I fight

muscle memory-loss

1. When you know how to do something really well, but when you try to show people you suddenly can't seem to do it.
2. When you can do something without thinking about it, but when you consciously engage in said activity, you constantly fail at it.

I tried to show off to my friends how well I could ice skate, but I was struck by an acute case of muscle memory-loss and I fell on my ass. They wouldn't believe that I was ever good at it afterwards.
