The tap drips onto
still waters.
Ripples echo and remind me
of my mortality,
then I am reminded of
my morality
and suddenly
I don't have much time.
Ripples echo
and remind me of
my loneliness and
suddenly
nothing I own is truly
mine.

These waters are deep
and dark and stare
into the abyss inside.
A hollow shell governed by
reckless winds,
what happens when
water and wind
collide?

It is us, The Legion of Farron
Destroyers of evil is what we swear in
Our blade might fall but will rise again
Swallowed by darkness, we shan’t die as man
Have we become what we had sworn to eradicate
How foolish we were to deny our own tragedy and fate

The world is quiet here...
There is no God to offer salvation,
There is no music to calm the soul,
There is no Love to sooth my suffering,
There is nothing but darkness here...
My world has been so quiet lately.
Chills running down my spine
It doesn't go away as if it stopped time
It was so dark I thought the stars in the dark night sky has lost its shine
It was alarming, risky, scary but it was just fine

Surprisingly, it's comforting
It's cold but filled up with longing
It's dark and cold like the night sky of a late evening
Yet when you embrace it, it gives you a warm feeling like morning

Warmth is there, yes
But the darkness and coldness surpass the rest
I tried to escape from it and I did my best
For escaping from it is an impossible quest

The Flower of Doom already bloomed
The end is coming soon
I know cause even under the hot sun of noon
You can already see the moon

It had already begun
You can't survive even if you have your rifle or gun
The strength of your soul's will
will determine if your still going to continue living and have fun
But if your soul's will is weak
you'll quickly vanished and will forever be gone

So when you feel that chilling sensation down your spine, it's the darkness
When it tries to embrace you, nothing's left but sadness
The coldness will never leave you like a pest
That's the embrace of the darkness' nest

IT'S THE COLD EMBRACE OF THE DARK ABYSS

We cannot understand everything.
A harsh lesson from life.
Be steady, see the pendulum swing
In times of despair and strife.

Yet, I chose to know myself.
The dark caverns in my mind,
Those I had put on a shelf
That left me maligned.

I find myself on an edge,
I have been here before,
And when I fell I made a pledge.
That instead I would soar.

I look into the abyss,
It greets me as before,
With a smile and a kiss.
Features I grew to abhor.

What it does not know;
I am no longer afraid.
Innocence had to go
Just as the mist must fade.

I look into the night,
With a deep breath, I soar
Then the dark turns to light.
I am afraid no more.
I have been on the edge many times. More than I would like I nearly fell into the abyss. Yet as I find myself back here I realise that growth happens during uncomfortable times. I'm ready for the next challenge.

This morning I stared at my
veins, and I realized they’re as
blue as an ocean during sunrise

And I’ve been drowning in
myself since my first breath

For how long must I
breathe underwater?

Am I still alive if my soul
feels like it's sinking
endlessly
into the abyss?
I’m not dead but I’m not alive either.
