Reaper's Mark - Dusk

For the wasted years that I've spent
For destructive thougths that are sent
For the hope that once was not dead
For the approaching apocalypse I dread

For the tears of sorrow turned to hate
For the end of pain I await
For my fists punching at brick walls
The surface cracks but it never falls

For the visions I see when I sleep
For the slumbering things that lie deep
For the hoardes unleashed as dark comes
They break me and my soul succumbs

For the knives cutting they are real
For the nails torn out I really feel
For the weight pressing on my chest
Prevents my breathing, lay me to rest

Mother! Dusk is close and my sight
Is fading second by second
My soul belongs to the night
My corpse to the soil

And I am just a sinner here a while
Descending as salvation's denied
The hymns are silent and my funeral mass
It holds no light

For the promises I will never keep
For deceit that hurts way too deep
For the turmoil I did not mean
For the horrid images I've seen

For the failures that are of me
From the things I know set me free
I'm a ghost soaring at sunset
As all falls down, please, help me forget!

Father! Dusk is close and my sight
Is fading second by second
My soul belongs to the night
My corpse to the soil

And I am just a sinner here a while
Descending as salvation's denied
The hymns are silent and my funeral mass
Will hold no light
