Drowned In Tears
My heart weighs heavy on my soul,
For both are drowned in tears
The endless struggle in myself,
Made worse throughout these years
I walk along this path to Hell,
While Deaths upon His throne
Beneath a sky as black as night,
This stranger goes alone
I hear the wails of those who've lost,
And again....will never be
As waves of crimson pound the shore,
Then crash back to the sea
Frozen in the place I stand,
My voice a silent scream
I fear this time I may not wake,
To end this tortured dream
As nightmares rage all hope is lost,
My mind can't take the pain
So I battle with these Evil thoughts,
But never speak their name
For just to voice such Evil words,
Could never be survived
And would bring the gates of Hell itself,
Upon a persons life
Though I run and run to escape the hold,
Of Death and all my fears
My heart weighs heavy on my soul,
For both are drowned in tears
