Only the Night
My body is on earth
My soul in hell
After you left me
I fell and fell
Deep into darkness
Is where I do lay
Only the night
No longer the day
Fading from thoughts
Trickling the mind
Everything I loved
Now left behind
I creep and I crawl
I haven't energy to walk
I am mumbling my words
I can no longer talk
The darkness corrupts the veins
It is now even in my blood
It came in slowly
Now I am drowning in the flood
Weak and wearing spirit
Fading from where I lay
Only the night
No longer the day
