it lurks in the shadows
and it surrounds the cosmos
it devours light
and it turns fortune into plight
it inspires you
when the world despises you
it reveals to you
what the light conceals from you
it fills the hollowness in your heart
it keeps you mortal when you are falling apart
it is found in the murky depths of your soul
emanates when you are losing control
what is it you ask ?
it is time I unravel my mask

by the book and by the blade
by all that lies under the shade
I traverse along with my phantasms across the worldly glades
I ****** my sword into the earth
and stand firm against this turbulence
inspired by virulence my phantasms
guise over me
this is a rift in reality
you may call it an abnormality
by the book and by the blade
by the lustful mermaid
you hold no sway over my heart
for I have built a barricade
I see through your facade
you malevolent with lust
I feel nothing but disgust
by the book and by the blade
by those who renegade
fatal is your deed
wicked is your breed
you have no time to save
the crimson reaper is at your grave
bad blood runs through my veins
this dire world is veiled by rain
hanging onto despair, bound by chains
I grow weary of the flames lurking within
the haziness I live in
morbid I grow by the day
morbid I grow by the night
you may call it madness
I call it darkness

lasso of despair
unable to escape,
some folk get tied down by the lasso of despair.
unable to survive,
some folk end themselves using the lasso of despair.
unable to be silent in the shade,
some folk rise up climbing the lasso of despair.
