A Dreamless Slumber

As I depart from this mortal coil The fragments of my existence Are laid to rest in barren soil As the sun fades in the distance I am nothing The pouring rains Have washed away the cross And all bloodstains Accursed phantoms of loss Amidst demise These blackened skies Silence the embers Blinding his weary eyes Maddened with tales Of a fool's paradise For it was fire And all the lies it told That through desire Bound him to days of old Heavens will shatter In the twilight of the end Stars will collide, everything dies Darkness descends The sun erased Devoid of reason to rise A moment traced Throughout benighted skies All that prevails Is sheer impurity The rotting wound, that all consumes In obscurity Consumed by anguish Drowning in regret Abandoned to languish Of salvation bereft This bleak horizon Of morrow absent Sorrow that rises Above the firmament The heavens shatter In the twilight of the end The stars collide, everything dies Darkness descends The sun erased Devoid of reason to rise A moment traced Throughout benighted skies All that prevails Is sheer impurity The rotting wound, that all consumes In obscurity The tomb he carved as a monument to mourning Is ill-adorned by ten thousand forms of suffering The sterile seeds of such calamity Mundanity of one possessed What never was can only be Merely wishful thinking, at best To sleep, perchance to dream In oblivion's bleak infinity So it seems, nothing can be redeemed Thus I am laid to rest for eternity To sleep, the chance to dream Was declared as yet another fantasy So it seems, nothing can be redeemed Thus I am laid to rest for eternity
