Living in the shadow Of a curse We have brought Upon ourselves The craving for life Eternal never ends Looking at the future As an endless unknown Fear of damnation in their eyes Icons and symbols from life's altar Hope and fear Leading to the end of days Death in pain Yearning for a twist of fate I'll remain defiant till the end Words of light fade At the point of death Like leaves Falling from a tree A dead blackened soul Searching for a way A never-ending vortex of decay Never fear the emptiness The answer is at hand Your powers cannot Comfort you Or free you from your dying breath Death triumphant As night and day unite Abyss everlasting Draped in black and grey
