When it all began I felt lost and confused All I've ever been has been devoured by despair Help was out of reach, was my life put at risk? I should have known that my past would catch up with me I entered the cavern of grief I never compromised my awry beliefs Being forced to question my way Opened my eyes, the fool faded away I always thought I wandered harmless ways But I've burnt myself, provoking my own fate I was unaware What was lurking inside Darkness decaying the deep Erasing my inner sense I was too obtuse To know what I have become I have drowned myself And was trapped alive In my solitary shell But now I have found myself I entered the cavern of grief I never compromised my awry beliefs Being forced to question my way Opened my eyes, the fool faded away My salvation was not yet in sight I fell into a bottomless hole I have won this battle. Mighty earth was but a tempest, dark and savage Through which, at times, a dazzling Sun would shoot The thunder and the rain have made such ravage My garden is nigh bare of rosy fruit
