My Soul Is Black

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fall to my knees and beg for a savior
An angel to come and rescue me
From my personal hell
But no one comes
Am I destined to walk through these paths of life alone?
I miss the days were I viewed this world through the eyes of a child
Innocent, curious and forgiving
But as you grow older innocence is lost
You learn what the world is really like
I stand on the edge looking over
Into the fiery gates of hell
Is anyone going to save me
Wake me up
I've been unfeeling for what seems like a lifetime
My eyes hallow
My heart unloving
My soul black
