Once again the darkness encompasses your soul bringing any happiness to a lull
You cannot engage your plate is full
You cannot get it out it won't let you go
An unwanted symbiont who insists on staying
It doesnt discriminate though you are praying
Consistantly keeping you out of your norm
Your glee has been overshadowed by its murk
Always in the background it will continue to lurk
Once it visits you will always remember its maniacal smirk
With hands on your throat it will gloat and show you pictures of your destiny when you are below
In its chains you will be bound
No matter how loud the sound no one will hear your cries of anguish
The pain will not be extinguished
Only death will free you of its harsh embrace
To unlock it's cypher to break it's encase
The Reaper will send his servant to your door
To take their fill in blood always wanting more
A discord born in blood as they come to your shore 800,000 deaths cannot be ignored
Its darkness fills the mind shows you the unkind
After it's commands are carried out what will what will your loved ones find?
A needless burden to bear for those that care
Could you have shared to stop the tears?
Would it be worth it to stop their worst fears?
