Everlasting


Murder me with your words
Draw the dead close to me
Telling me unheard
That I have ceased to be
A dead path I must follow
From the seeds of blasted earth
I'll never see tomorrow
As my body twists and burns
I'm trapped in your fire
Now tied to the blood of bones
Fated to live forever
Never to return
I'm living with witches
Always falling on my own
A life of broken stiches
A life that you have sewn.

Close your eyes and die
A reflection of the life
Denied to me,
I close my eyes and sleep
A mere shadow in
Your dreams.

A graveyard in the darkness
Your only gift to me
Let's see if you can mark this
Or is it only in your dreams?
The mists and darkning silence
Is drawing me in deep
This is my lament
For those that we must keep
The blood has started falling
Sweet whispers in my ears
My two minds are dueling
Yours is the voice of fear
As the centuries grow old
And build upon thier rage
The old tales are still told
At the turn of another page.

Close your eyes and die
A reflection of the life
Denied to me,
I close my eyes and sleep
A mere shadow in
Your dreams.

I'm waking in this torment
The life taken from the stone
Cursed by all the souls I've sent
Down to merry hell
I'm tearing out my eyes
I think that they're still bleeding
I still can't count the times
I couldn't find the meaning
Damned now forever
Burning in redemption
Soul light as a feather
Names without a mention
I'm burning all my books
Flames devour the lines
Lines without without thier hooks
Heros I can't find.

Close your eyes and die
A reflection of the life
Denied to me,
I close my eyes and sleep
A mere shadow in
Your dreams.

Close your eyes and die
A reflection of the life
Denied to me,
I close my eyes and sleep
A mere shadow
Your dreams.
I like the the last four lines of the first verse.

I must confess I have a bit of a thing for the dark poetry and what not. This one was right up my alley. Oh and the last four lines...I can see why you like them...I like them too.
