Gallows

The dark mirrors of my ruin

My downfall as our worlds divide

And the hollow moon in sorrow hides

A dance of shadows in peril

Through eternity's Lethean guise

Evanesced, sinking in these visionary tides

Gaze not upon these tempest peaks

As they stare with callous haste

And the gallows sing my last lament

By the famished ghost of our dying day

And I see your wilted silhouette

Under the starlight's tender gleam

Through a drapery of tears (Of tears)

Drifting into everlasting sleep

Knelt before my fallen self in a perilous bliss

In the crashing rain and weight of regret

For you I gift my final breath

My love, my oath, my death

And I'll write across these pallid, forsaken skies

The wavering beauty of your name

This tomb, a sanctum in her arms

Where all is lost and all else fades

Here I've not much left to give

With hopes but a grain of sand

As nightfall looms so swiftly

And the final curtain descends
