Darkness Falls

There's a shadow standing under a tree
I don’t feel, please, set me free!
A world illuminates a clouded sky
It's backwards, alive, and he can't see why
Creatures slither, creatures eat
A creature gets eaten or a creature sleeps
It seems a minefield of hidden deceit
"I don’t know why, but a creature repeats
Everything's hollow: Nothing means anything, there is no joy, only idiots sing"
His eyes used to glow, but now they're dead
Like black holes sunken into his head
But I'm gonna care as much as I can, for this short time left that I have as a man
To know what kind of fool the world enthralls
Waiting for the light while the darkness falls

There's a shadow standing under a tree

One more step, and then I'll see nothing more of the things that suffocate me
The swarm is silent, I can finally unbend
I feel nothing, not even at the end
If heaven's on earth then may hell ascend

There's a shadow hanging under a tree
And a rope is a tool to set one free
