Fatal Frame

The lingering scent of a dying dream Fulfilment of damnation from aeons past The promise once broken to be kept encaged in a prison of lies Unjustly until we meet our demise This crimson scar will never bloom A bloodstained tear takes the plunge from your face Madness seeps from your mind as you slash through this realm Despair, hatred and sadness corrode your reason The mourning dawn shall remain out of sight The pain refuses to subside All those years lonely because I failed you Never again! The caress of the dark and the daggers that wound Faithful to none but the endless void beneath Piece by piece, our souls break down into shards of glass Do not forget me and as the roots take hold, don’t let go! It constricts and chokes the life from our bodies The malice lurking in every crevice Cracking the foundation of this plane To continue as a hollow shell Begging to be broken and released from this torment Yet, the time is upon us To fulfil our destiny I feel your veins pulsate as I clench And as the whimper of your fading life escapes your lips The horror evokes an anguished bellow from the depths of my soul Forgive me... The rays begin to shine through the ebony clouds Bittersweet, as it warms my pain I begin to howl I reach out to your translucent silhouette and you flutter away. We exist within the very fabric of reality only as one...
