As soon as the fading dark surrounds me   I go insane, wishing for the light   The thorns as a burden around my soul   Bury the present struggle for sight      Emotions, seen by few   After a night of lies   Accompany the morning's dew   The dark leaves my presence dry      Fear, as soon as the night surrounds me   Fading away, into eternal suffering   Shades of pale ebony, never to be seen by mortal men      While the fear slowly takes its toll   All visions from the past are falling away   The black path followed ahead   Will soon show its fading encumbrance      Never before could the omen   Foresee the pain left behind   The solitude of eyes staring   Grieves the mind eternally      The fear that grips me, never to be seen again   Fades with the sight of its death, their souls recur the faith   Temptations faced in the flesh, never grant us madness      As soon as the fading dark surrounds me   I go insane, wishing for the light   The thorns as a burden around my soul   Bury the present struggle for sight
