My Last Keen

My Skull In My Hands

My Last Keen


The eyes 
that used to guide my steps 
to shed light before me 
now feed my nightmares 
and I 
die at every dawn 
As darkness fades out 
all my dreams turn to dust 

I realize another night is so far away... 

My senses are blackened 
a weak glimpse of faith is dying 
my sight yields visions of spectres 
that haunt my bleeding wounds 
crawling shadows surround me 

My ears witness one thousand screams 
raising from every hell 
my mind is imprisoned in flesh 
while so many battles fade out 
inside my heart 
and I sail the sea of nothingness 

Those eyes 
that looked inside me 
to unveil my soul 
have left just deep scars 
and I 
walk away from you 
while for the last time 
our song weeps inside me 

Now please, believe that my life's disease 
will make you forget my memories 
my name be your night black grim shadow 
and let me sink alone, alone... 

I used to fly with you high 
in scarlet passion 
now I drown alone 
as dark turns to sorrow 

Now I close my eyes 
yearning for rest 
Cold rain falls in vain 
Sombre days are yet to come 
gloomy fate waits for me 
All that is left 
just a pale remembrance 
staring at my skull in my hands
