A Crestfallen Heart

A crestfallen heart, a demon’s delight 
Served up as the main course 
At their banquet tonight 

An agonized soul 
Devoured as well 
Until the darkness of night 
When they rise up from hell 

Locked shutters or doors 
Provide no respite 
From the heart break and pain 
Bestow the midst of the night 

Sorrow and sadness, demons bask in delight 
A pitiable soul sits in the darkness 
By the cause of the night 

The dark of the night 
Brings an arduous despair 
Only memories and demons 
The three of you there
