Shades of Shadows

A hopeless dream I dream,
Through lifeless stars,
Sparkling eternally,
On a morbid sky..

It seems the world is turning,
Back to how it was,
When time began its weary walk,
On the road to Destiny..

Sepultures of dust,
Catacombs of deceit,
I walk on listlessly,
The path behind me fading..

The path ahead I see,
A hollow cone of putrid light,
Beckoning me,
Engulfs me in the flames of wrath..

My feet tire, I halt;
And realms of darkness pass,
Amidst the gloom I discern
My faithless memories..

High atop the cliff I hear
The crash of rock on wave,
As sceptered Death doth call my name,
The wind my soul does wake..

Each step onto the precipice,
A step away from life,
Futile is the journey made,
For eternal is my strife..
