Around, all around, the storm clouds gather.
the night falls as if slain by the sun, soulless are we.
It is a night of darkness, a song of ethereal pain,
wolves vent their howls. The dark one
awakes.
the salvation for which you pray
flares once, then dies,
devoured by madness.
My dread grows as the angry hand of Heaven falls against my naked soul.
It wounds me, and darkly my
blood drips
to the thirsty earth.
In agony I hang my head
while Death's shadow looms over me.
Now alone, my soul falls upon darkened eyes.
I am dying here, bound to darkness:
finding my way through this hurtful agony,
heart so empty and torn.
Slender beams of moonlight enter
this darkened place as I kneel,
always in pain, always lost,
frozen here,
waiting.
this darkness so betrayed,
a deathly emptiness.
This is my salvation
