THE VOID
In the dark, a seer speaks
Words lost in the labyrinth of night
Whispers of how far you've fallen
Of how far you've yet to fall.
But within the veiled truth
Lost along the shadowed years
Of pain forgotten, pain long hidden
You try to convince yourself
It's not your fault
It's not your fault…
Yet behind the scars that paint your skin
The remainder of a whip-lash's kiss
Is the heart of one who once hoped
That still clings to life
Though its blood was spilt
And leaks on the stone
Through its soul long since gave up
And cries tears of blood, waiting alone
For hope that never came
For hope that never was
And you continue waiting
Alone
To be heard…
But your screams don't penetrate these walls
And they will never be heard
Past the void of the dark
The void of the night
The void of their hearts.
And you know you will never be free
Because there is no freedom in the night
And this night does not grant
Clemency
Does not feel
Compassion
Cannot understand your pleas for
Death.
No, there is no mercy for
Forgotten innocence and feigned guilt.
When at last night's reign ends
You find that you've lost your friends
All that's left are tears and malice
And blood that fills a forsaken chalice
So, clutch your heart and stagger
At the glimpse of the fallen dagger
It goes in for the kill
You never saw it coming
And now you never will.
