The haunting stench of misery
Still lingers in the air
This bitterness, this memory
This danger, everywhere
The darkness sheilds my eyes to see
The gods won't hear my prayer
The shadows scream and cry to me
"Oh, what in life is fair?"
The aftertaste of my sorrow
Will rest lightly on my mind
To imagine is to know
That life can be unkind
With time an endless race
Its speed beyond compare
Here I wait in dark's embrace
Heed my words, "Beware"
My clarity is here I understand now why,
As one last thought appears in sight
The bright star does paint the sky
I could wait forever dancing in night,
Please, tell me soon dear wicked one,
This world is cruel to scare
I would like to get this done
"Tell me, what in life is fair?"
Holding tight to play my part
The wind embraces me
Darkness won't destroy my heart
I'll find my own way free
Silent, like a porcelain doll
Under these watchful eyes
I break this curse, as i hear them call
"Everybody dies"
I whisper it up to the moon
Just as the crooked crow flies
"It'll be over very soon,
Everybody dies"
Golden rays, beams of light
Marking my friend's demise
I can find no need to fight
For "Everybody dies"
