Long are the nights now When dreams are no longer kind Through air prowls the imminence of death Soaks my soul, the mirth has gone In my weariness all seem dull Nothing to feel or imagine Still hearing her voice, my hearse Bedimming the memories left behind In the moment of despair A haunting melody pours from my lips And fades into lurking darkness Carving out my eyes to see The secrets behind the shattered drapery A journey through the lands of nihil I've been here before
