Light At the End of the Tunnel

Spinning the shadows close ever quicker Gasping for breath energy spent Running for the light that shows the path The wind scratches against the skin The earth falling away as each foot steps whispers of promised torments they wont forget A pillar of light finally within sight So close to the edge flames reach out to lick the naked flesh A leap of blind faith off the edge Reaching hands grasping air as they surf the waves of heat Hope fading, fate begins to be accepted Cold death finally here We can now disappear A light draws near Taste of fear on the tongue whispers of torments not forgotten
