I've lived, I've known,
What thrives in the dark.
Not the corners you're familiar with,
But the one deep inside.
As the chess continues,
Countless bodies of unknown pile up,
Underneath the crumbling throne.
Even when the shining crown rots away,
The game still goes on.
Up on the head of the carcass,
The silent king remains.
The war won in the end,
Celebrated by none alive.
Praying for help,
Gasping and thrashing for the lost light,
How can you wish to continue,
The already over fight?
Hear the cries, hear the screams,
Feel the fading souls,
As they drive you to find,
The darkness hidden behind.
The shadows finally overpower the light,
The maddening silence overcomes.
No mercy no more,
Until the final call.
