Light of Darkness

Darkness is my only vision

My inner sanctuary is full of mourning

Memories crying in the dark

Sobbing as they watch each other die

Widowed shadows of happiness fall to their knees

Weeping over their beloved murdered future

Sadness is unleashed from her prison in the dungeon of misery

The sword of sorrow is in the hands of uncertainty

My heart sits in sack cloth and ashes

Grieving the untimely death of love

Rigamortis sets in the bones of truth

Darkness is my only vision

My inner sanctuary is full of mourning

Memories crying in the dark
