Midnight! The Horror-Flies waltz again! The milk hath turned black The Silence grows louder, my eyes pale two shades ...as the silent womb crumbles Gods! I have wept for thee, to no avail. A soul dead and lost, a mind grown so pale. When did the silence, the madness consume When did the silence, become so abaundant? Shadow of my former shadow Rotten steps interred within The rainy cemetery of my mind. The gates close once again The path is left unclean The way is shut, for all my tales are swallowed! In place of necessity leaves that fertile ground barren and sore The master sits childless, alone and unheard Locked in his midnight keep All alone, undisturbed
