To Walk the World of Shadows, Surrounded by Dead Trees

by Abandoned by Light

Your God is dead here, bled like the lamb No longer dwells in my head, the liar you hold dear My life is no reflection of his love, hate in my heart I hold my head high, raise my fist in proclamation The God of man is dead, and so shall his host die My eternal sorrow, caused by his hand My score is written in my blood, taken from the chalice I saw my suffering, reflected in the darkness beyond Inspiration to end it, put my life in the hand of fate Through the noose to the other side, become the spirit Scream to the Heaven, hear my voice Poison, frothing forward, accuser, hatred to host Vengeance for the multitude of pains I have I smile as the temples burn, retribution My scars, a sign to the injustice of his vision Your God is dead here, bled like the lamb No longer dwells in my head, the liar you hold dear My life is no reflection of his love, hate in my heart I hold my head high, raise my fist in proclamation The God of man is dead, and so shall his host die

Fading through mist shrouded memories Towards the blackness that lurks between worlds Shadow clad memories of sorrow, hanging over me Tendrils clawing at my mind, ensnaring all being Hear begins the darkness, and here it will end me Frozen images on my consciousness Memories of days long past, misery within Still, cold and dead, the human soul Crystalline tears, chilling to the touch The man that I was, dead to the now Hatred to yourself and me Happiness is short lived, flying away Hatred is eternal, forever against you Broken mirrors of me projected Onto the weakened frame of you Shadow clad memories of sorrow Laying in cold December rains, dying Cold against my skin, frozen to my face Memories of the world before my dark Never to return, forever lost to the past This is the darkness of my world, forever Shadow clad memories of sorrow, taking me down Through hell, through the bleakness of night Never to return to the light of the above Shadow clad memories of sorrow, eternal sorrow

Midnight tolling of the blackened bell Dark shadows sounding the deepening Ageing conifer embracing deep evil Suffocating melancholy, down in the soul The call of the forest sounds through Walking the world of eternal black Lost in the maze the world created Waiting for the call of nature to set me free Sun blotted out by the canopy of trees Natures breath blows through the leaves I feel the caress on my skin, on my soul I walk this world of shadows, surrounded Grey clouds cover the darkening heaven Rain washing the earth clean, human scum fleeing Lightning strikes the tolling blackened bell Sounding the hour throughout the deep I take no heed, surrounded by natures folk Walking away, surrounded by dead trees As the darkness deepens over the forest I make my way towards the deep waters within Wading into the depths within, the deep blackness As it falls over me, stare towards the abyss within A V of black swans overhead, sing songs of my demise As I walk into the depths, surrounded by dead trees Midnight tolling of the blackened bell Dark shadows sounding the deepening Ageing conifer embracing deep evil As I wade into the depth and darkness The call of the forest sounds through Walking the world of shadows, surrounded by dead trees

Far away from the world I left At the world peak, isolated and safe I behold the beauty of nature, serene Snow falling on desolate white mountains The power of nature, ancient giants of the realm As I walk through the range, beholding Frost forming on the edges of my vision Time quickening and so short, awaiting my end Up amongst the white mountains, dying Embracing the cold of the air, awaiting Amongst the cold and mysterious realm One with the lonely withering moon This life is fleeting, but the mountain everlasting Overlooking the ending of the worlds Forever one with the heavens it pierces Far away from the world I left At the world peak, isolated and safe I behold the beauty of nature, serene Snow falling on desolate white mountains The power of nature, ancient giants of the realm Visages of creatures melt into the dawn Foxes flee to forgotten shelters, await the return Of the darkness that they move in As the sun rises in the eastern skies I lay in the frost, the snow, and the cold I will become a part of the realm Into the world and the mountains embrace Forever a part of the landscape That feeds the wild plant and beast Snow falling on desolate white mountains The last thing I will see

I know the weaknesses that dwell within The mirror that lurks beyond won’t let them be As humanity walks through their perpetual twilight Fading through twilight smoke, into ashes I fall back into the mist that lurks between worlds Bloodied sigils painted on mirrored walls Summon forth the black hatred of them From utter bleakness calls forth death Call upon the secrets of old Black cloaked reaper waits for me, smiling Walking amongst nightmares of mind Black death sweeps me up through twilight Hells doors open, and carry me through Oblivion opens her maw, and swallows Through the circles I fall, into the fires Bloody tears stream my face, falling to dirt As I stare through turmoil towards the world I know the weaknesses that dwell within Leaving me less than what I hoped to be I know I don’t belong, and so I retreat To fade through twilight smoke, into ashes
6.
I see the reapers of light approaching Their wings on fire, licking the sky Cold hands stretch out to hold me And cry upon my shoulders, knowing There is nothing left of the man inside Leading to the darkness Between the dreams and awakening I know this realm well, home from home I flay my skin, let loose the inside Until there is nothing left to feel Where are you now life? You were never wholly here I raise my eyes to the heaven Staring into the blackness Ice rain falls on my face, numb I see the reapers of light approaching Their wings on fire, licking the sky Cold hands stretch out to hold me No tears left to shed for me, knowing There is nothing left to feel inside
7.
Spectres of dust blow past my eyes Memories that dwindle into nothing I thought I saw the faces, But they never appear Spectres of dust on the wind Once again they appear Haunting apparitions of things past Tears cascade as I kneel Closing my eyes to the pain But they dwell in my mind, no escape Spectres of dust arise from the earth As I walk down the frozen path Figures between trees and worlds Accusing stares fall on me Knowing the things that I failed They don’t care about me On the other side of feelings they linger The memories of the life The one I never lived, ghosts Spectres of dust, everlasting Spectres of dust blow past my eyes Memories that dwindle into nothing I thought I saw the faces, But they never appear Spectres of dust on the wind
