Lament

I am a hollow man walking towards his end And no light enters my vacant, dead gaze I seek no refuge from the cold No food, no comfort My body aches but my soul is still There is nothing left to hurt me I will finally be free Once I cast myself into the abyss Where I belong Where I am nothing, and nothing is I Where forever I fall, blank No longer a shadow in this life Cast aside and forgotten Let the dust cover my remains Let me fall down from this earth And as I approach the great rift Cold winds begin to blow From the depth of everything The source of of all and none A gaping smile torn in the ground And I stare into it Black eyes that stare right back Black claws that sink and pull me to the abyss Where I belong Where I am nothing, and nothing is I Where forever I fall, blank No longer a shadow in this life Cast aside and forgotten Let the dust cover my remains Let me fall down from this earth I crave to walk where the shadows fall, Where angels lie with blooded stumps for wings A place forlorn, a palace fit for kings A world where pain and pleasure are mere fantasy I wish to kill the human side in me To become the clockwork, ever pacing To feel no pain But I see a light emerging, from no sun or star above A blaze from deep within, a sense of strength I've never known From the bottom I see all from the bird's sight, I open my third eye To be none is to be all
