Beneath The Shadows
Darkness covers everything again
This time it will not rise
Hides the source of these screams and endless tormented cries
The faceless voices surrounding me
Whispering their suggestions of insanity
Telling me of blood and pain
And the serenity I shall not obtain
Crimson breaks the monotonous black
I cannot block hell from my sight
Everything is dead
But can the dead scream out in pain
Can they tear away at the last shreds of my mind
Can they speak memories of forgotten hates and tears
Can they be killed again?
Unavoidable stare from the empty eyes of sin
Torn away from hiding, now its closing in
Silent words formed within the tainted air
You can't leave this behind.
Trapped beneath the shadows
Worthless lies all thrown away
Infested with the reality that illusion could not betray
