16. BLACK-HOLE:
"FALLEN FOE"
You seemed like the brightest star of all, 9
But then you began to fall. 7
Once you were a bright star, 6
But now look where you are. 6
You were perfect in every way, 8
Lifted up more than the others, 8
Until that fateful day 6
When you turned against your brothers. 8
Seduced by pride's spell, 5
You exalted yourself higher as well, 10
But no one knows why you first fell 8
Into the darkest pit of hell. 8
Who's dream are you now delaying; 8
You're the one you've been betraying. 8
They say you are a star that fell 8
From heaven into hell. 6
Seeking your Master's height, 6
You led them in the sky. 6
Their light went out one night, 6
But nobody wondered why. 7
In their pride, they will fall, 6
And take you with them all. 6
They tried to take the throne 6And claim it for their own. 6
This is how the angels fell 7
Under pride's seductive spell. 7
Instead of givers, they are takers; 9
They turned against their own Maker. 8
Some of the stars fell out of place; 8
They should have stayed in their own space. 8
Unaware they couldn't do it alone, 10
They weren't meant to shine on their own. 8
"BIRTH OF A BLACK-HOLE"
I keep staring off into space; 8
This world's so big – my eyes won't leave this place. 10
It feels like I'm going nowhere; 8
I'm never going to get there. 8
There is nothing I can do; 7
I have nothing to hold onto. 8
I'm caught in this world's gravity; 8
I think it has a hold on me. 8
I let my life get out of control; 9
And somehow I slipped into this black-hole. 10
Once there was light, life, and love in my soul, 10
But now it's just a big black-hole. 8
I've witnessed the birth of a black-hole; 9
The stars swirled around and were swallowed whole. 10
Sometimes when stars shatter, they become black-holes; 11
Until your heart's broken, it will never be made whole. 13
Everything is spinning around; 8
Yet when I scream, there is no sound. 8
I should've stopped and turned around; 8
Now I'm falling to the ground. 7
Deliver me from darkness; 7
There's no end to this emptiness! 8
My soul is still stuck in this space; 8
Is there a way out of this place? 8
"I'M TRAPPED IN ME"All of my sin 4
Is pulling me in. 5
Those who fall in 4
Never get out again. 6
I have to hide 4
Everything inside. 5
I can't break free; 4
I'm trapped in me. 4
The circle consumes me, 6
Sucking up my soul. 5
The darkness devours me; 7
I just want to be whole. 6
In my heart, there's a hall 6
No light can reach. 4
My mind is like a wall 6
No truth can breach. 4
Dark forces lay siege to my soul, 8
Who don't want my life to be whole. 8
The nightmare will never let go of me, 10
Because I'm trapped here for eternity. 10
Will I ever escape this darkness and doubt? 11
I'm trapped inside myself - I'll never get out! 11
Don't let the darkness and doubt 7
Eat you alive from the inside out. 9
"DEEPER IN THIS DARKNESS"
There are dying dreams; 5
In this world full of woe. 6
And all is lost, it seems, 6
But no one will ever know. 7
Life no longer matters; 6
Death has come instead. 5
The stars have shattered, 6
And the last dream lies dead. 6
There's a world where dreams meet their death, 8
Withering with a touch, and life is lost with but a breath. 14
Faith has fled - dreams are dead - and hope remains unseen; 12
Confusion reigns as King. Chaos is his Queen. 11
When the last song is sung and emptiness is filled, 12
Wandering hearts will finally be stilled; 10
When faith has faded and no stars are in sight, 11
And darkness devours the last of the light. 11
"THE EDGE OF ETERNITY"
The stars in space 4
Have left their place. 4
They lost their light 4
To the dark night. 4
Time will never tell 5
How the angels fell. 5
They're on their way to hell; 6
Don't come too close - you'll fall as well. 8
Listen to creation cry; 7
Stars are falling from the sky; 7
They've lost their light - no one knows why, 8
But for each tear, a dream must die. 8
Look up at the galaxy in its glory; 11
The stars themselves tell a story. 8
From the beginning of our birth, 8
We enter this world called earth. 7
"I LOST MY LIGHT"
I stand alone at night as the wind blows, 10
Waiting for the stars to show. 7
There are those who never know 7
The light of their gentle glow. 7
I try to think how would it be 8
To have the light so I could see. 8
Shadows have surrounded me; 7
Only truth can set me free. 7
I want to be just like the light, 8
A star shining and burning bright, 8
But I don't have the will to fight; 8
Now nothing will ever be right. 8
The light is hard to find, and rare, 8
For emptiness is everywhere. 8
Maybe the truth was never there, 8
And if it was, why should I care? 8
"ECLIPSED ETERNITY"
It's a swirling vortex some call a soul; 10
There's nothing but a big black-hole. 9
I'm falling deeper into the darkness; 10
I can't escape from this emptiness. 9
I can't keep myself together; 8
How long until I'm gone forever? 9
There's a black-hole inside of me, 8
But I'm trying to break free. 7
I had a dream, but now it's gone; 8
It came and went just like the dawn. 8
I sense light, but I can't see it; 8
I know it's out there, but I can't find it. 10
Then in the dark, there was a light; 8
I saw a star shine in the night. 8
It gave me hope - it burned so bright; 8
I could never forget the sight. 8
"THE LIGHT HAS LEFT"
When light falls in, 4
It never comes back out again. 8
What's that bright light up ahead? 7
There's a star shining there instead! 8
Off in the distance, there's a dim glow; 10
Focus your eyes on the sight. 7
Then into the darkness you fall down below, 10
Never again to see the light. 8
No light is pure enough to escape it; 10
No force of nature can stand against it. 10
The stars have all fled from the sky; 8
The light has left this world to die. 8
Stars were swallowed whole; 5
They're trapped in a black-hole, 6
In this never-ending nothingness, 9
In this endless emptiness. 7
"SHATTERED STAR"
The universe is unfolding, 8
Exploding exponentially. 8
It's expanding and evolving 8
To echo through eternity. 8
A star once showed us all the way; 8
Someday its light will fade away. 8
Twisting truth, time takes its tolls 7
Shattered stars become black-holes. 7
Giving in to gravity; 7
Destruction is their destiny. 8
Collapsing under their own weight gradually, 12
Falling from within endlessly. 8
Lost sailors used stars to calculate their course 11
Whenever the wind and waves took them with their force. 12
Majesty materializes as the universe unfolds; 16
Who knows what the future holds? 7
"DEVOURED BY THE DARKNESS"
In the dark I will stay, 6
Hiding in the shadows. 6
I just want the world to go away; 9
I hope nobody knows. 6
I'm so tired of being alone, 9
But I can't do this on my own. 8
Don't they know I'm not there? 6
Can't they see through the mask I wear? 8
I feel like an empty, broken shell; 9
Because being alone is like being in hell. 12
You don't know how empty life can be 9
Until you are alone, like me. 8
I walk down this dark path alone; 8
The only one I've ever known. 8
It seems my heart has turned to stone; 8
I'll face my destiny alone. 8
"SWALLOWED UP BY SHADOWS"
The darkness is coming to drag me in; 10
I don't see how this could happen again. 10
I wish my heart would open and let light inside, 12
But I fear it never will. I'm trying to hide. 12
I can feel its powerful pull. 8
I just hope it gets full 6
Before it sucks my soul away; 8
I hope the sun will stay. 6
Look all around you; 5
Their dreams are dead. 4
Maybe you're meant to 5
Go through it instead. 5
If you want to be free, 6
Then run away instead. 6
You can't save me; 4
I'm already dead. 5
"SINKING STAR"
The last star starts to fall; 6
Shadows have swallowed up them all 8
No one can hear me scream or shout; 8
Please, won't somebody let me out? 8
It will not let go of the light 8
Until there is only starless-ness left in sight. 12
Darkness devours the sun, 7
So its rays reach no one. 6
Swirling into the shadows, 7
Into the depths of hell below, 8
Everyone tries to fight their fate, 8
Caught in its grip, but it's too late. 8
What can bring this falling star back out 9
Of this black-hole of darkness and doubt? 9
It will fall forever, never reaching the end; 12
In the darkness, there's no dream to defend. 10
"SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL"
My world is spinning; 5
Somehow, I've lost control. 6
Inside I'm slowly dying; 7
It suffocates my soul. 6
I'm a prisoner of my pride; 8
I bottle everything inside; 8
All of the fear and doubt 6
That needs to be let out. 6
My heart has exploded; 6
My brain has overloaded. 7
Trapped in this prison of indecision, 10
There's a veil blocking our vision. 8
I should feel something, 5
But I feel nothing, 5
Empty as space itself, 6
As I destroy myself. 6
"LET THE STARS FALL"
I can't touch you - you're so far away; 9
I'm almost there now - please say you'll stay. 9
I made a wish and it came true; 8
Now I'm standing here with you. 7
You are the star that leads me on, 8
The light that shows me where I belong. 9
You shine with light, just like a star, 8
But you don't even know who you are. 9
Let every star in the sky fall; 8
To me they don't matter at all. 8
I don't know when the stars will fall; 8
Forever's not that long at all. 8
Like the stars, we will glow, 6With the warm light of love we know. 8
When I have you, there's sunshine; 7
Who needs the stars when you are mine? 8
"SINKING SLOWLY "
It won't let go of me; 6
I'm slowly sinking in. 6
But why don't you grab hold of me, 8
As I start to give in? 6
They all go on their way, 6
Leaving me alone anyway. 8
It's so dark I can't see; 6
Can anyone help me? 6
The darkness is lonely 6
When no one else is there; 6
Sitting in the shadows, 6
Pretending I don't care. 6
I have to close my eyes; 6
I'm scared of what I'll see. 6
That's who I want to be; 6
So don't try to stop me. 6
"FALLING FOREVER"
Whispering voices 5
Call out for my soul, 5
Running out of choices, 6
Still stuck in this black-hole. 6
Who am I within? 5
Somebody help me win! 6
The end is about to begin; 8
I'll never see the light again. 8
Now I'm falling forever, 6
Deeper into the darkness; 7
The nightmare ends never, 6
In this endless emptiness. 7
Here today, gone tomorrow, 7
Day and night filled with sorrow, 7
Now the flames are rising higher, 8
Burning with deeper desire. 8
"I LOST MY SOUL"
I lose my grip, 4
And start to slip. 4
This fear I feel 4
Is all too real. 4
Deep in your eyes, 4
The mask you wear 4
Can't hide the lies; 4
The truth is there. 4
Here I am now, 4
Trapped inside of my own prison; 8
Still lost inside somehow, 6
With each wrong decision. 6
There's simply no faking, 6
The reason why my heart's breaking. 8
My world may be falling apart, 8
But there's a dream deep in my heart. 8
