Light At the End of the Tunnel
Spinning the shadows close ever quicker
Gasping for breath energy spent
Running for the light that shows the path
The wind scratches against the skin
The earth falling away as each foot steps
whispers of promised torments they wont forget
A pillar of light finally within sight
So close to the edge flames reach out to lick the naked flesh
A leap of blind faith off the edge
Reaching hands grasping air as they surf the waves of heat
Hope fading, fate begins to be accepted
Cold death finally here
We can now disappear
A light draws near
Taste of fear on the tongue
whispers of torments not forgotten
