Once I was hopeful, now I become nothing
I cannot speak, my shallow breath stutters, what is this I'm seeing?
This is keeping the darkness in the sky for what seems an eternity
My body is dry, my tears have all been shed for thee
This broken song bleeds through the cracks of my heart
My life is flowing away, for you were the precious object of my art
What once was filled with wholesome light
Now becomes the twilit landscape,
No moon, no stars in the night
This rejection has destroyed my vibrancy, you shut me down
You've left me in the deep waters, not bothering to even watch me drown
You were once chosen, lifted high above the rest
And until the last crack of dawn I have done my best
I pleaded with you to become the sun again
I once saw the angel of light, now this Beast grins in the night
He laughs at me, my inward humiliation
I am within the power of That snake of perdition
I have failed you, my heart spills out liquid shame with every beat
I sink into the pit where no light enters from above
My muscles weaken, my thoughts darken
The air becomes a thick cloak of death
When I think of the end you see for yourself, my heart is covered in agony
You were once mine, but no more
I long for the day you would be so again;
To be my joyful song again
But I see no such day ahead
For you, this day I am aggrieved
