Once Upon A Shadow, Deep Inside A Dream

Dark Truths 01-27-03

Stagnant pools of day old blood,
Remain behind despite the flood,
Emotions burn through stoic facades.

Lying words reach trusting ears,
Laying to rest needful fears,
Time freezes only for the lost.

Eternal night falls upon all,
Lustful, yearning, answer the call,
Deep in the blackness they die.

Taking hold of life's betrayal,
Avoiding all who fail,
Looking in the mirror, seeing the truth.

Unbending mortals always break,
Eternal torment, seeing all at stake,
Stagnant pools full of hate.

Should I whisper I'm sorry to you?
Hearing the words what would you do?
I seek revenge instead of forgiveness.

Stagnant pools of sins own blood,
Don't look at me so righteously,
I know it is my blood you seek.
