I'm turning away from thy light
and lay myself into blackest night
I adore the sleepless nights
awe this endless death
A view of creation are a view of Illusion
this synopsis of sublife
a start from mud
But here I'm as anyone a part in this play
of neverending lives
of remembering it all over again
Hail to endless night away from the ugliness of the sun
showing the ugly new world growing here
all around us
A world taking away personality and human contact
a frozen lake of endless tears
and in endless pain
