Stillborn

Welcome to this darkened earth, brightened, briefly, by your birth. But soon enough covered again by darkness born from souls of men. We have left ourselves forsaken, ghoulish rituals partaken. New life eclipsed by endless death, nightmares live in every breath. Your vibrant eyes won't light for long, degenerate from weak to strong. Enter life and enter death, exit light with every breath. But soon you'll see the darkness of the soul, never seeing any light, fall into the abyssal hole. Drowning in the darkness of our strife, cuts short your nonexistant life
