In the Mist
Mist, envelopes the dark water’s sharp edge
Developed sipping the waves of dimness
Triumphant droplets carry forth in pride
Over the hardships of combined starkness
Sojourn the time has become real in might
Shortly in the mind’s eye, it cannot see
The dark realm beyond is what it is, dark
Because the mist has become nothing free
Corrupted the light has started to change
The only small amount of light left bends
And darkness covers all around this realm
I am stuck now here, until light amends
I lose the strength to stand up any more
I fall to the depths of the frozen Earth
Rolling through the mist I hope to escape
Never do I find it, couldn’t find mirth
May times empty chasm lift me again
Out of this terror hole I fell into
May the colors come alive once again
Lifting veil of darkness, making it true
