Saved By Death

Curtains of despair draw around
Light and joy seldom dawn 
Down here where the sullen lay 
Tired sighs for a dreading fate 

Fall ye! King of tyranny 
Bringer of pain, sired to me. 
Dwell with me where misfortunes meet 
Far from where my endeared could see. 

"Eyes hollowed windowed to soul " Said he 
"Blamed am I when beckoned to thee 
Float and flit I will if you cut your ties 
To endless gloom and a resigned life "
