The Sufferer

An ocean supporting my death A world unseen is stealing my breath Command my end with all that you have I still rise in the land of the sad Hidden noise in solemnity’s wake The silent prayer that darkness partakes Behind your eyes the scene will appear And all your words are riddled with fear Sleepless dreams deterring the truth Drop the sword, deny you are you Illusion’s stain gripping your shield And finally, your sleep is concealed The strongest casting their stones The quickest stealing unknown A lonely means to glorious ends Where nothing’s learned, and darkness commends And deeper my sight has me drown And in the light the darkness is found Killing me all over again Until I rise and walk with the pain
