An Almost Endless Night

Something stirring, twisting, darkening in my mind I wake to see myself through the faded windows of time Still in this place of cold metal and stone For too long now it seems that’s all I have ever known So now I lie down and wait for tomorrow’s next big fight Knowing in my heart an end to an Almost Endless Night Crowded, Shrouded faces everywhere Eyes growing cold from nothing left to share Shackled down by the weight of their own enormity Without Grace from the one their souls twist to deformity But to those that believe a new dawn springs light And an endowment of strength to challenge this Almost Endless Night For a life unbecoming a man such as me. A family awaits him patiently to see what he will be. No longer wishing the road that desire brought him down. Wants of the flesh give way to Gods, a harder road is found A multitude of apologies never uttered to this plight And never again shall I go down into this almost endless night Exiting, vexing my mind screams freedom In my minds eye I see the banner of Gods kingdom Knowing that now all the prophesies ring true Of freeing all the captives, the door I go through Will take me now from this lands painful blight And enter me now into the Sun of his never ending light.
