I stumble through the defening darkness
watching my step, not wanting to fall in loneliness
waiting for the beast to pounce and strike
remember what innocence was like
innocence was pure white like snow
it was so white it seemed to glow
but then it faded to an offwhite
as i began to fade from the light
at the point that it turned grey
i should have had a second thought on that day
spashed with black it soon became
untill all of my soul was the same
dark as night and twice as cold
worth nothing to he that seeks souls sold
so now i walk in darkness i walk in fear
crying a meaningless tear
the tear falls to be unheard
the whole notion of innocence seems so upsurd
but the beast, the beast is not
seeking innocence lost
gorging in hatered and fear
the jagged teeth rip and tear
he stalks me now running as fast as i can
but ultamatly he is faster than any man
leaping from darkness i see its face
i am frozen and cannot move from this place
i am still alive as it begins to feast
i shall not be remembered in the least
becoming flesh and blood on sharpened fangs
because the innocence lost is what he claims
That was intense. I can't believe it. And I'll bet that was all from the heart.
