In the shadows of the night
Rendered unconscious to the lies
When will the time come
That you end your false cries,
As I turn my back to you
Walking amidst the shoreline
Linked in bounds of your trickery
Firstly, I was blind, now I decline,
Another chance for you
To present your penance
If what you've done was a crime
You'd serve a sure life sentence,
In the chambers of my body
My high energies have lain fallow
You stare upon me as a fresh face
Yet in mine eyes, a face of sallow,
That's what you have shown me
Within this much wasted time
You've spoken lie upon lie
The tub of your brain stains grime,
So please, step away please
You may end your saddening try...
There you stand on your stone
Your howl echoes, I hear your cry,
That's all you manage to do
Toying with my mind
You always cry, you always cry
I was lost to think you were kind,
I no longer carry the weight
Of the burden you put on me
Your games and trials to ingratiate
Will fail ms, you will now see,
So do what you do best
Howl at the moonlight
Your chances with me has ended
Now please flee from my sight...
