a pale glimpse from afar had been like a delusion
but it carved a deep scar - there was no remission

the dissonant winds purred
cast a ghastly spell over me
a goulish one was unfurled
shattered my soul, made it bleed

into darkness I fell and fell and fell
as I descried the resounding of the knell
the obscurity reclined in deadly shade
as I roamed through the ebon landscape

the stars once I did behold
in an other light-doused ether
that have glittered in the cold
and knew, I soon will wither

i'm in here till my bitter end
my soul inwoven in gloom
rigidity, my only true friend
the spell caused this doom

for me there's no relief
dusk's talons tear me down
I don't possess the belief
for ever I'll fear this frown

oh, please break this chain
burning soul, I can't bear you
release me from my bane
turn the requiem to a fugue
... a fugue that my life once was

into darkness I fell and fell and fell
as I descried the resounding of a knell
the obscurity reclined in deadly shades
as I roamed through ebon landscapes
