Malefaction

Lie awake the dark to come
Running skies across the sun
Called to sleep as life to death
Sudden still each burning breath

I am cold, peace only to bear
Devilish heart my demons dare
Chase me under to depths below
Across a divide I dare not know

Another soul forsaken
Unto this cursed place
All for granted taken
Lost in time, disgraced
Nothing more to surrender
You gave away in your fall
Tortured world that you enter
You've reached the end of it all

Grey surrounds the weary world
No winds raise these flags unfurled
No sound to feel, sightless to see
Malefaction blur forever be

In this race of Time and Trial
Fate begrudging all the while
Sends us onward, near and far
Held on hope, Man's furthest star

Another soul forsaken
Unto this cursed place
All for granted taken
Lost in time and grace
Nothing more to surrender
You gave away in your fall
Tortured world that you enter
You've reached the end of it all
