The darkness has swallowed
All hope for reprieve
My heart beats are hollow
My confidence leaves
And though they know that I wallow
And they know that I grieve
Their darkness has swallowed
My hopes for reprieve
The monsters are coming
To take me away
I know they are waiting
I know where they stay
And the sunlight is waning
The day fades away
And the monsters are coming
To take me away
My debt must be paid now
It’s long overdue
I do not care how
As long as it’s soon
If my life I must lay down
I’ll leave it with you
For my debt must be paid now
It’s long overdue
You were so trusting
Your heart was so pure
Your dreams were of wedding rings
You knew I was yours
And I heard your soul sing
But I messed up the chords
But still you were trusting
And our love was pure
You never suspected
What I was inside
Because I had perfected
My tactful lies
Or cause you resurrected
My human side
So you never suspected
The monster inside
That night I remember
It’s painfully clear
Your pain like an ember
To burn and to sear
Your soul like November
Cold and dark with fear
Yes, that night I remember
It’s painfully clear
Your scream like a siren
Beckoned to me
You didn’t know I was the tyrant
That I was the banshee
I had the strength of a lion
But lacked sympathy
So your scream, like a siren
Appealed to me
All the love we had shared
Our life of fairy dust
Had I really cared?
Or was it blood lust?
Were your instincts impaired?
Or were they just?
Had the love we had shared
Dissolved into dust?
I don’t know, I confess
My emotions have dulled
But since your death
I can not be consoled
And though I took your last breathe
My misery unfolds
But ah, I digress
My soul has grown cold
My time has now come
I hear the footsteps
This means little to some
But I’ll try my best
Because where they come from
Those dark, soulless depths
Will soon be my home
Once you steal my last breathes
For now apart
Forever together
My soul belongs to you
Please come to claim it soon
