Washed in black
I know my path
The truth lies
Beyond the gate

Sorrow weeps
Whilst we all sleep
Double back
And see just that

Woe be gone
Just like the fawn
Laying down
Spreading red

Archers pull
The bows are taught
And at the ready
To rain the flame

The linen flaps
In the wind
When the city dies
And the hunger's fed

I know my power
And my strength
As I seep out
From my bones

To the light
I speak the night
It fills with fright
And kills my sight

It goes black

Hush brightens my ears
Dark quiets my eyes
Feeling dulls my limbs
Exertion pierces my mind

Lost in a maze,
I am
A maze inside.

Breach a sinister monster
Break the frozen line
Bathe in the fallen voices
Beseech of me "What was mine?"

And to ash, I fall.
