Shroud of nothing, The lack of light,
Takes a toll, Total blight,
Everything that was, is no longer here,
Memories gone, All unclear...


Everything wilts, Fades, Painted with blame,
Whatever was good never stays the same,
Pure beauty of today,
In a blink of an eye spreads decay,
As the blood runs, The tears will fall,
What was alive today, Is dead tomorrow...


Afflictions strike the heart and soul,
Never completely healing, As Sorrow takes its toll,
Time will pass, The stain will grow,
One was marred, Soon the other will follow,
No longer the same as your essence drains,
As hate replaces, Sustains, The darkness remains,
Once purity is scarred, It is forever,
There is no coming back from this Dark Endeavor...


Her sensual touch, Deadly, Seductive, Corrupted,
Easily abducted, Controlled, Brainwashed to Follow,
Happiness fades black, All turns to Sorrow...


Now your tainted, Violated,
No way to cleanse once contaminated,
Even with time to make amends,
Tragedy will strike once again,
Breaking the heart, Filled with pain,
Darkness seething from within,
Striking fast, Plunging deep,
Tears of blood, As you weep...


Defaced, Lifeless, In haste,
In a second of Rage totally erased,
No coming back, No trick or deceit,
Past the point of mortal beliefs,
Giving in, Letting go,
So much easier than you could know...


Forgo, Why fight,
No longer needed to imitate,
Succumb to the Darkness,
Before it's too late,
 No reason to lie, Or fabricate,
No going back, Take a stand,
Your rightful place is at hand,
Your destiny was chosen, It's crystal clear,
The time is now, Let it flow,
Don't be frightened of letting go,
Sacrifice blood, Pay the price,
Appease the gods, Blood enticed,
Invoke the fury, Fueled by Hate,
Lose control, Accept your Fate,
Embrace the Darkness of Forever,
There is no coming back from this Dark Endeavor...
