Why?

All that I desire is to die eternally
To fall forever, fall forever, through an endless sea
As angel fell unto the ground
So man must fall from earth unbound
These shackles self-made for myself
I will be bound by nothing else
The poet was the one unwilling e'er to know he's wrong
The poet was the one who never lost the sunlight's song
If thus it be, then I am he who loved the darkness more
Than anyone who saw the sun fell for its smold'ring core
