…and thus shone the sun

For one last time, pale and haggard

Till by frothing jaws devoured

A fading light sunk into night

Behold, darkness falls upon lands well-known

Old paths forlorn the night adorns

Hark, shadows call from sombre Stygian halls

...swift the fall

Deep and far beyond all light

To whereabouts unknown

To fog-laden grounds so cold

A gaping chasm gazes

Into my soul, through marrow and bone

A numbing voidness embraces

Yet in my heart's core I know I must carry on

Behold, darkness falls upon lands well-known

Old paths forlorn the night adorns

Hark, shadows call from sombre Stygian halls

The sepulchral stench of buried dreams

Doth fill the heavy air, all sorrows lay bare

Tomorrow's hope is naught but a waning gleam

As hissing voices whisper: Oh, Death won't thou come reap?

Yet in the midst of this ghastly night

I can feel my blood flaming, a fire burning bright

Which I've filled with the remaining light

That I've barely kept deep down inside

And for all the fears I've watered with tears

Remains naught but joy and memories dear

For at the far horizon I can now clearly see

A dawning sun rising upon me
