Eventide

I, tainted fiend Withered, cradled by these woes Hereby reap my sorrows Writhing as I decompose I, enslaved by the profane Bow to demons of guilt Shackling this soul to shame So it seems her absence was my bane The blade that lacks a hilt Ashes against the grain In the eye of the storm birthed from the abyss Ten thousand hymns are heard, hailing depravity Embracing the last drops of indigo bliss Amidst such shapelessness, drowning in lunacy Here I am Gouging out my eyes Rotting as the daylight dies Exorcized of lies Crucified, I agonize Crowned king of disdain As the castle we built Washed away with the rain And thus, these tattered remains Of adoration unfit Fell into death's dark domains Lacking the restraint To save half of what I am Adrift in the pain of temptation The taint of deception It condemns me to damnation Gouging out my eyes Rotting as the daylight dies Exorcized of lies Crucified, I agonize Peace lies in defeat Hope is now obsolete A heart's dire beat Eternally incomplete Shattered is all deceit I submit to my defeat Shedding two lonely tears One for each of us, my dear For the end draws near And soon both of us will disappear
