The storm is
Looming overhead
The lightning branching
Out like spiders webs
The gloom encroaching
The lights fade out
The world collapsing
As the sky falls down
Hope has died
As the stars burn out
Hope has died
As the black thorns sprout
Rain falls down
On the shattered Ground
Blood pours down
I begin to drown
I wake up
Crawling through
The mud and muck
Thunderstruck
On my knees
Drowning in the filth
I cry out
Screeching for
Another soul to
Pull me out
Save me from
Drowning in
The filth
Find me
Save me
Drowning
Writhing
Grasping for safety
While gritting my teeth
Caught by a branch
Squirming up the bank
Crushed Fingers bleeding
Flesh torn from bone
The price I pay
I pay on my own
Time keeps moving forward
But I'm trapped here
I don't know where I am,
Or why I am still here
The path stretched out before me
With no end in sight
I'm walking it alone
I fear I won't survive
The Dark demands its price
And must be paid in full
A coin to cross the river
Like tales of old
One step forward
Each stride takes its toll
A struggle timeless
Crawling out the hole
Daylight breaks,
I lay down
Finding rest on
Pale ground
Something waiting
To be found
The lights flicker
All around
Water beckons as
Cold waves break
From the docks I
Leave my wake
A dark figure my
Soul he takes
Ferry leaves
No longer awake
One last try
A pursuit of might
Clutching on by bone
And outlast the fright
I'll keep fighting
Until I'm set free
Lights fade out
