Of Darkness

Withdraw this undoing of evil's greatest sin

Maybe without light I shall be happy again

My mind is my own prison, I walk this world alone

Without love, without light, without pathetic life forms

And as I drew away the light and hid it deep within

I realized that my own black heart is betraying me again

For "love" has found a spot to linger, tearing up my soul

Stealing that so called "salvation", the life that's made me whole

And as I throw back empty dreams and broken lullabies

I create a mask of angel hair and subtle battle cries

Falling further behind my guilt and nearly giving in

To all the darkness and the light, all that's evil and sin

Take away the blinding gold that shines within my eyes

Take away the crying soul that beckons me with lies

Find a way to carry on without a life to feed

Amongst this world of consequence that shadows us with greed

A note is played upon the stone in which I lay to rest

A silent note of tender love, of enlightenment and blessed

Dare not this world go empty handed, dare not the slaves resist

For now I lay at rest with zombies, of darkness I have kissed

This is one of my favorites. I wish I knew the hidden meanings..
