As soon as the fading dark surrounds me I go insane, wishing for the light The thorns as a burden around my soul Bury the present struggle for sight Emotions, seen by few After a night of lies Accompany the morning's dew The dark leaves my presence dry Fear, as soon as the night surrounds me Fading away, into eternal suffering Shades of pale ebony, never to be seen by mortal men While the fear slowly takes its toll All visions from the past are falling away The black path followed ahead Will soon show its fading encumbrance Never before could the omen Foresee the pain left behind The solitude of eyes staring Grieves the mind eternally The fear that grips me, never to be seen again Fades with the sight of its death, their souls recur the faith Temptations faced in the flesh, never grant us madness As soon as the fading dark surrounds me I go insane, wishing for the light The thorns as a burden around my soul Bury the present struggle for sight
