You stand alone beneath midnight stars
Stranded upon this wind swept plain

Alone except for the wind that draws your hair across your face
Hiding the pain that's forever been etched in place

I feel my heart break
At the sight of your shining tears

As I'm carried past I grasp at your hands
Screaming your name until I choke upon broken chords

But you do not hear
You can not feel me near

For you are alone
Alone beneath midnight stars

And I
I am simply a memory on the wind

The lies I tell,
And the truths I choose share,
Shape the person this world perceives.

So that I may succeed in life,
Steal the future from angles,
And slip through the fingers of death.

Death and Darkness walk hand in hand
Both secluded and excluded

Together they walk these lonely lands
Their lives become blended

The World no longer remembers or cares
The difference between the two

So they work as one to bring the night
And put out life's light

In darkness I stand
Into lightlessness I dip my hands

My eyes glow from lies contained
My hands twirl a blade sharpened truth

Sliding the dagger across fragile skin
Feeling my life pour out from within

My life separates into separate strands
Blue, Red, Silver, Black

Blue for emotions frozen into ice
Red for love I cannot make disappear

Silver for a God that should not care
Black for my soul that houses nothing good

They coil around me
Surround me in light

Flicker
And go out

Course ropes of darkness surround me
Mockeries of what was inside me

They pull themselves around my throat
Bind my hands, legs, and feet

Tipped by a gust of silent laughter
I crash to the ground

The earth slowly consumes me
Pulling me into an unmarked grave

Though long before I am brought to suffocate below
The cords around my neck remove me from consciousness

There can be no awaking
Already dead and brought within a dream was I

Where am I to go?
When after life all I am able to do is die into another night.

what can i do other than run
run from who i am

for though my darkness will always be inside me
i can get away from those that see within

i ran until night slipped into winter
upon ice formed of darkness i fell

in front of me is a beautiful hand
dipped in light it offers respite

i gasp as i grasp fingers of ice
for they sear my skin and allow light to slip within

spun around i crash into the ground
jagged lines accompany fragile sounds

light acts as air within my blood
racing toward my dark filled heart

everything begins to slowly turn white in light
as my body ends the world returns to darkness

i look above to see a figure smile in light
once again extend her hand

but only to wave
as ice gives way

as a rain drop i fell
until i became lost within an ocean full of ships, dreams, and a mirror,
reflecting the sky from which i came

as night began
there was formed a plan
(beneath moon lit sand)
of a great escape
that would in time take
ten thousand souls

and it is told
that within the dead's darkest dreams
they are trapped
beneath the moon lit sand

forced to dwell
until night is lit
by fires of hell

and the screams
of their ten thousand souls
