A step taken - one of the remaining few
In haste of the end all senses abloom


In a moment, now lost in absurdity
The tables were turned
Cold caress of inevitability

Take me neverwhere - a fabled foreverthere

Of stalwart and will possessed

The monster nurtured within
A mere husk of the former entity
A solemn accord to thee - The resolve's abandoned me


Tonight
The wolves are gathering

Inside
Premonitions of shattering


Fear unfathomed spreads its flame now
Unquenchable stark
Let it scorch the sickness and woe away

Hallowed the pain it brings - sever the futile wings

Listen closely to this discordia

A sonata of dread and throe
The tick-tocks that grow few in number
A journey I must embark - Show me the path to dark


Tonight
The wolves are gathering

Inside
Premonitions of shattering


From the nether reaches of the mind collect the darkest resolve
Count the blessings that never were, count the blessings none
Lay down, six feet to the ground, curse the grimacing heaven above

Stand strong, stand forever tall, prepare for the final fall

As the benign black ascends

From the soul springs forth
Color the walls, color the doors
Color the world all gone
