Alone now, darkness descends in me
Something tries to make amends
No perception, nothing to feel or see
Demons rise like crowds in the mind of me

Screaming faces I can’t reconcile
Each one from me I cannot hide
Maybe those that once I knew
Ones I loved and that loved me too

But alone now deeper still and endless night
Unlike before, no light, no fight
Powerless, not like when you were here
Surrounded now in the deepest darkest fear

I’ve known things you see, they’re immersed in me
Like anchors, they drown me in the lowest sea
Darkest depths, deeper, darker still I drift
No reprieve, no rescue ships

Yes my fate it seems, a sliver of what before
Came and went, like a knave I ignored
Am I even me as I was before?
Future, past, present, anihilated, no more

Disappeared am I to eternity in this place
Taken by darkest embrace
Nothing now not even a name, silence
Removed, hardly a trace

Darkness descends
No longer day
Time can’t chase blackest night away
Cowardice, a just reward I’d say

What’s left of me drifts alone
Destined in silence to atone
For the love I thought once was worth
Darkness, light, heaven, earth

Priest, you know God has long departed
Destroyed, assimilated, descended into darkness
Everlost never again to be
All that perhaps at one time was me.
