23 March 1998 Cold Dark Knight As the night swarms around you Your arms are open wide You stand- -Ready to embrace the darkness Which will take you away. You hear the spirits calling, But you can’t see past you shame. You begged silently for forgiveness This sorry state does not deserve words. The clouds of your destiny break open And your punishment pours out. Thunder voices his anger as Lightning crashes all around, Barely missing your embrace. You’ve outstayed your welcome, Burnt yourself into the night. You watch the fires of your sinful mission dance, In performance for the horror, The hell you are soon sure to face. You can only blame yourself. At last the night of darkness comes And the fear rises in you, though you had been expecting...... You fall to the ground Shortly before the knife is wedged Between your hatred and your guilt And you are left to bleed.
