The night seems quiet with the wind unforgiving as it chills my heart.
As Death wraps his bony fingers around my soul dead secrets seem to awaken.
Yes the night seems quiet, but my ears throb from the sound of silent voices begging to be heard.
The air is thick with Contempt and Anger,of Fear and a lost Hope.
Shadow has a hold of this land and light a fear, for even when the light enters,the darkness does not understand it.
Death lingers here because the unspoken ples are left unheeded,the creeping darkness left unpierced and my heart as dark as my ways...
