Lives Therein

In the dark we wait for death to claim us In the confines of these rusty chains In the shadows she destroys our hope So beautiful and yet so hideous A thousand dawns have come and gone So many lives have withered I taste the taste of hopeless air The taste is stale and bitter She loves to see the blood that flows From the wounds in our weary flesh No smile will cross her face Until she hears us scream in pain As the sand in the wretched hourglass fell Such agony became my friend For the snow white teeth in her wicked smile Is now all I have left My pain, it fades My thoughts, they decay Ignite & burn away with the sin One look in her eyes And I am hypnotized By the blackness that lives therein My skin becomes gray My life slips away The flickering flame dulls within I remember my life And am horrified By the blackness that lives therein And I am lost in the dark therein Where my shadow exists no more
