Under it's spell

the candle flame

gleams across my eyes

As shadows dance

along the walls

I remain unblinking

Deep under trance

and deeper still

time comes to an end

I understand

the arcane truth

that I have never been

I am the void

My apathy

has made me naught

Angels would have cut their wings

and thrown them to the sea

Shattered their exalted thrones

just to sit beside of me

and yet I am alone

free to writhe beneath my sorrow

I'm lost, and there's no sign of light

memories, profound despair,

are in the air I breathe tonight

I'm drowning beneath the violent waves

my lungs have gorged, and now are filled

with the abyss that seeps into me now

I'm drowning

I am Naught, I am the void

Everything I was is destroyed

I am Naught, I am the void

Everything I was is destroyed

Angels would have cut their wings

and thrown them to the sea

Shattered their exalted thrones

just to sit beside of me

Shouting words of blasphemy

odium and spite.

Like a Leviathan howling

mockery at the light

and yet I am alone

free to writhe beneath my sorrow
