The Deadly Light

Listening to  

The echoes of the night

And the seasons that

Have all changed too much

Quaking at the thought

Of those I've never loved

And those I've yet 

To come to know

Yesterday that haunts

The sound of rain long gone

Time continues

To race ever on

Refreshing the lying game

The game we all play

Without ever 

A single thought

Listening to the darkness

And how She calls out

To the Man of the light

Her lover lost 

Lost without doubt

The darkness whose songs

Praise the dead and their work

Poisoning the very air

With their whispered deathly stares

No sound released

And yet the cries 

Vibrate out 

Until the living due die

Strength fades

And faces people change

While the dying cry

Haunting the every hour

With their songs of joy

Joyful songs

If they sing

So do the very depths ring

Ring out with every staggered breath

Understand this, my friends

The darkness cries

Her dead die

And all to mourn 

Her Deadly Light
