Staring into darkness

Blackened thoughts dwell deep

The twisting pain inside of me

Unable to sleep

Fires burned within us

Consuming to the core

Leaving just this hollow shell

Tonight this ends, no more

Until first light

Away from the night

Before the night is done

I’ll finish what you begun

Before the light sheds the darkness

My freedom comes, before the night is done

Wandering through the memories

The pictures on the walls

The pain in this remembering

Like snakes inside me crawl

The fire dying within me

The one you let burn out

Tonight this ends, this hollow shell

No more pain, no doubt

Onto the light

No more this night

Before the night is done

I’ll finish what you begun

Before the light sheds the darkness

My freedom comes, before the night is done
