I wonder, sometimes, what it's like, Life, beyond this pale, grey sky, Damaged, torn from horror and spite, Is this world insane, or am I? . Once a meadow green, lays now this land barren, This silence sickly, was once broken by the music of the raven, Sunlight once flooded bright, the bleak blemish behind which I now cower, The landscape of mind, was once where had bloomed the flowers. . And as these walls close in, and fades away the place, Weak, trembling, writhing, I give in, As I look at the white cloaked mans' face, And his nod of approval, as I fall into the void within. . A sea of white. The raven from childhood. . Sing to me raven, I beg, take me there, To the place where I was alone and happy, I begin to wonder, as he silently stares, Was a curse of time, this, or am I the watchmaker?

The Watchmaker
I wonder, sometimes, what it's like, Life, beyond this pale, grey sky, Damaged, torn from horror and spite, Is this world insane, or am I? . Once a meadow green, lays now this land barren, This silence sickly, was once broken by the music of the raven, Sunlight once flooded bright, the bleak blemish behind which I now cower, The landscape of mind, was once where had bloomed the flowers. . And as these walls close in, and fades away the place, Weak, trembling, writhing, I give in, As I look at the white cloaked mans' face, And his nod of approval, as I fall into the void within. . A sea of white. The raven from childhood. . Sing to me raven, I beg, take me there, To the place where I was alone and happy, I begin to wonder, as he silently stares, Was a curse of time, this, or am I the watchmaker?
