Death and Deep Sorrows, Cold Dark and All Alone
Death And Deep Sorrows, Cold Dark And All Alone
Sorrows are dreams dying of thirst
or apathy which is worse.
Burnt and decayed, cast into pits
misery in lost raving fits.
Meadows dark brown and without Life
humanity, with its strife.
Life in shambles, nothing to hold
freezing death, fingers icy cold.
Without Hope, life is a nightmare
each step brings another scare.
Hands bound, mouth gagged to be sure
terminal darkness with no cure.
Seeking that one sliver of Light.
For relief from deep sorrow's blight.
