The Harsh Light of Day
The harsh light of day
The darkness surrounds you
It engulfs you
Paralyzed and broken, it drags you down
Deeper into its pit
Ascension, a fleeting dream
Demons surround you
Torturing your soul further into madness
Escape, there is none
Turning circles, spinning, you fall further still
Who were you
Where did you come from
No memory, black, all that's left is void
How can you get out
Who can you turn to
No one is there
You are alone
Completely alone
Falling deeper into the abyss
Retreating into your fear
You scratch at walls hoping to dig free
You bleed
you cry
you scream into silence
Nothing
Solitude, darkness penetrating, consuming
That moment comes
The wicked one is ready to bow
Proud of his victory
Pleased by your inevitable demise
And then, alas
Out of the darkness
Something piercing, blinding
Indiscernible
Hope
A beacon
A voice saying you are not alone
An end to the darkness...
Salvation
Tis the harsh light of day
