Reckoning

Dreams of the deep mist,
The secrets I keep
They hide a luring song
An ancient choir is singing
Calling to me,
There's a primal fear
That death is near,
The knell of madness ringing
The call
The end of it all.
The beast within.
Death lingers endlessly below,
The madness below
Beyond all that we know
Am I the reckoning?
My lantern's fading
I try to push away the ending
And black roses fall the same.
My sanity is dust
Crumbling by the moment
In an empty shell
Of it's former glory
Dead inside,
Try to hide behind a lie.
Deep in the mist, I can feel something there
Identities of silence
With their bitter truth and sweet lies
All that I knew
And all I know now,
Nothing but grains in the sand.
"my suffering child
Have humans created this."
I am the reckoning!
It feels like I fell asleep
And woke up in a nightmare
Fallen into a world of chaos
Hope fell apart
And all I could feel was my
Faint broken heart.
The beast within leaves me terrified
Some where inside the fractured abyss
You call through depths and the mist
But it's too late
Black roses wither away
All the same.
I'm the Rapture,
The end of it all.
Just a lost soul
Gone into the madness
Of the abyss.
The reckoning from oblivion.
The sorrow and hatred burns in my head
Misery and shame infects my soul
Chaos and darkness raging like a storm
All in my head.
IT HURTS!
The eternal winter
Digs it's fangs right into my soul
And desolation in my wake.
I am the reckoning
And I bring only the curse of rapture.
