Fallen Angel's Lament

Black shades cutting ice 
breaks ground deeply ebony chills 
darkness creeps closely consumed

Abandoned waste easily exhausted 
lands with it's own need
The fire inside laced sulphur 
burning ash inferno remains

Venom underneath clay mixed 
To extinguish the light 
Blank rage fills an empty void 
buried inside hate scorned sadness 
mixed with madness condemns

Demons dance 
upon the flame hissing spits 
As fossils from the past ghosts
haunting negative abuse hides 
With tortured truth 
lies underneath bankrupt happiness
Forever self inflicting harm
 
Empty existence fouling grace 
cold silk pearls shame 
crashing down the neck 
From the shivering timbers 
falling vacant love exist's hallowed

Broken mirror reflections 
beyond repair or answers 
one blur crushing every lost soul 
pulling the trigger

Without good reason 
or remorse suicidal death 
Numb nothing crashes fate 
beneath the soil held sponge captive

Trying to see a future 
from within the shawl of suffering 
life's fate hounds deals their cards 
from the crook in their heart

Countless empty hours spent
Locked inside chains 
battle scared 
breaking free on the last breath
