Valediction
She falls to the nameless She falls to the shapeless Forth is the disease And praying for our souls A gaze of apathy Foul and turbulent A force of majesty Veiled fallacy Garted temptation And pulled to the beyond Crashing down Crashing down The tendrils of the rot Seeping further in And as the soul fades I look into the eyes Staring back is pain Regrets of her life Fated to a death And this is your time Fading life We must not weep Aching now Sorrow steeps Death will come For us alive Remorseless swing Of the scythe The crow soars high above our grief tonight, the fall of our lives Death in sight, leave our souls and Take what's yours tonight Reaching into the blight Feeding the sorrows in light Reaching into the blight Feeding the sorrows in light Eternal emptiness To witness a death Our own mortality So fragile as the hourglass The futility Of our endless tries To perfect the path When nothing lingers on And yonder is but black And nought in happiness For your time is now There is no turning back

The world sinks below In bolshy shades of grey And how I must yearn For clarity The madness of it all The precious always fall How this came to pass And conscious to the last Perditions of my fate Phantasmal at the gate Grey and sombre I must abate Reflections of the way Eternal malady An affliction of the decay Tracing down my spine Premonitions while supine A plague now of my decline The beauty now perishes I cannot accept your death Marred upon, marred upon the soul Grey and dying Ever prying Grey and dead, dead upon the soul Grey and dying Sombre lying Perturbed by the storm Solace crashing oars Shipwrecked by the shore Fallen now once more Fading into night Seeking yonder light The rocks of grief draw near Lapping at my heels Oceans pull me in And under do I sink Slumber in the deep And still cannot believe Denial of your death Weeping your last breath Seas of sorrow weep To me they shall reveal and Bequeath!

Writhing in the night Blooming into blight Seething to the maw Swirling evermore To be grave of mind Crushing to my eye Peeling back the veil Ailing I surveil I am the rotting in your mind I am the howling in the night Fallow is thy sin Sombre seeping in Darkness shallow grave Screaming as thy slave While the anger steeps Closing in the teeth Stifled is thy heart Stormy waters chart I am callous and pulsing with agony Save thy quiet and binding the malady I am callous and pulsing with agony Save thy quiet and binding the malady I will rip out every piece of thy Malaise mind and every inch of the Consciousness You hold so dear I am final, end all thought in the Festered annals now distraught In the consciousness You hold so dear

Staring out at the sea Clutch my dagger close at hand Fate is clouded with my grief And hoping for a better life Oh mighty beyond To them that we call Sendeth benevolent signs Return us this day So callously grave Why must we suffer this way? Fate upon us Faith is spurious Maddening growing in me Why erroneous Grey delirious Hourglass tumble beneath Bargaining Anguishing Lamenting Bargaining Despairing Suffering Fallacy of our dismay Lauding our sorrows this day Come unto us we beseech Mortuary hidden beneath A call up into the night A wish to you answer this plight Finality cannot accept Eternal I shall be bereft I am falling I am jaded Mired in apathy I am worn And so frustrated Steeped in agony Come and take me To the night now Broken by this death Just one chance To say goodbye Is all I really ask I will follow on the path The memory will live on Lingers the strong desire Depression sublime Many times we slip into the state Unknown reason cannot sate Righteous, bargain to the deep A simple method of relief Wailing to the end of days Calling forward, now too late Longing still forever gone I am afraid of what's to come Ratified by the ways of one Glorify the graceful doom Marching onward to a fate now hopeless Sealing now the runes of ages past Foolish I see, were my dreams Now languished I bargained for your life And toiled with my strife But in the end it was unwise To truly become one And mourn the passing on Reflection into me And mending underneath

Eyes have followed me I cannot see Through lacrimosa thick and grim I'm grey again Sun gone again Full moons are born anew A tithe is now upon the soul A shallow grave bury us all The weight of all bears down on me And sorrow fills my mind with grief All is gone And dying Weight upon And trying Silent introspection made Familiar faces now berate Macabre and dancing all again Grey and empty we pretend Uttered curse morose and low And ailed by the great sorrow Fettered by depression black The burden resting on thy back Now be marred again All is gone again Laying down again Fate is cruel again Eyes have followed past And weeping for at last Razing all my hope Lost in clouds of smoke Fated by above But fallen now below New moon has decreed For eternity

Is mortality the fallacy Which none of us can cling to? Why is the call of angels just like that of siren screams? Why do call upon this Earth When we are fallen right from birth? Is it our right to be obtuse And to be torn asunder? We call upon the souls Those forgotten from beyond To accept my bitter fate Unravels time entangled state To bring about the end of days Will try the frailty and mandate Our resolve become born anew And beckon now this hollow view A year now to the day A malady of grey And behind me the ashes of empires The silence said it all And grieving his call And the shadows of nascent black pyres Apparition banished unto thee The falling hourglass drifting past Fragments of glass, grains of sand And finally, I understand I have found the way and I holdfast All I see is all I need Feeling it's all Feeling it's all the same Sorrows give way Give way to new days now Sorrows in vain and away is the pain It's clear as day now Everything is waylaid now To elation, false temptation Crowning the joy with alleviation

Burning my eyes with the tears Ac ofnus dros ben, felly hir Frustrations and seething the past Grief and the die is now cast Unable to progress The solace and abyss All consumed with my grief Fear all encompassing Wallowing in pasts Forward with no path Death incarnate disbelief Bleak and hallowed underneath The great undoing of anguish And the grave undoing of fates Delicate lines of aether The ever crossed eyre we sate A shred of sanity Is now forever lost Change is long forgotten And a remnant of the past Emblazoned in the psyche Afront to that beneath Callous are the vessels And cryptic to the teeth Secrets of the past The time slipping away Embroiled in the starlight The final crashing waves I am fallen scarified and Emptiness all to the future Silence shrouds the ever grey Shattered now and lying in the grave Burning my lies with the fears Ac ofnus dros ben, felly hir Conflagrations, grieving the past Bleak and the die is now cast Forever!
