Ah, the inscrutability of agony
Greeting you like an old friend
The domain of unwanted pain
For your attention it contends
.
Ripped by shades of monochromes
Like ancient pages of a fragile tome
Insalubrious tales of a ghastly mend
Unto which your life dares to depend
.
Mister Razor incising like the devil
Ceasing flows of red blood vessels
Lost hope to which you relied upon
Darkness, it comes to take you son
.
Ah, the inevitability of agony
Greeting you like familiar sin
The stains of welcoming pain
Bothers not—for it always wins.
