Sometimes it just feels as though you are falling through infinite darkness...
Darkness Falls

Darkness falls and so do I
Falling faster and faster through the night
I fall through the midst of my demise
Until forever I close my long forgotten eyes
The violins play a dirge for my sorrowful soul
Add the deep chords of piano and I am made whole
Black on dark on night, there is no way I can escape my plight
No one hears me when I scream
Perhaps it is all merely a dream
Alas, my hopes shatter in pain
The feeling of nails being pounded through my brain
The darkness grows, within and without
There is no one to turn to or a name to shout
My soul is tainted black by my wrongs
My life is haunted by ghosts and their songs
Lost in the darkness
No hope of finding my way
No hope of ever seeing the day
My soul slowly slips away
As the final notes of the piano play
Within this growing dark comes purpose
Or that is what they say
But I lose hope as no purpose comes my way
So here I forever lay
Watching as the growing dark chokes out the day
