Too Late to Say Goodbye
The world is cold,
blindly you're thrown
into absolute hell,
forced to stand on your own.
Shadows surround you
While you search for life
Alone and bitter
No comfort inside.
The darkness is your friend,
Shrouding you in his cloak of despair
Shutting you away
From the light of the outer world.
You wait in Darkness's eternal night
For deliverance only God or death
Can provide; for that helping hand,
A ray of light.
Slowly, the shadows consume,
Tearing the flesh of your soul,
Devouring the flame of your life
Until it diminishes and dies.
Your spirit releases,
Silvery wings spreading wide;
Lift your face to the sky
And take flight.
You fly away
beneath the stars,
Past the universe,
On to where peace lies.
The gates of eternity open,
Your soul finally breaking free
Of the chains that bound you
To Darkness's hand.
Laying peacefully upon a crescent moon
You're safe from Darkness's serpent tongue,
His persecuting eyes,
His poisoned mind.
You watch and laugh
As he finally realizes
What he has done
To make you fly.
And you hope you taught him
As your life was weaned away
That it's too late to say
Goodbye.
