In the shadows of the eave of dark,
love shall bleed into the coming night.
Weary of all the pains expressed,
in the dancing vortex of the light.
Black moves silent deep into the heart,
shattered in the tricks of words all lies.
Mystical dreams once thought came true,
dwindle in the darkness of silent cries.
Sorrow runs deep in deprivation,
in the heart now torn from within,
from hands as cold as cobalt steel,
that know little more than solid sin
Ravaged in the anguish of my mind,
I stumble in the world of dreaded deep blue,
as the world crumbles all about me,
in the heartache of the truths about you.
