In the darkness footsteps fade

A fire burns within


The ghosts of the past gnaw away

Reveling in your shame

Darkness watches


It swallows everything


Binds you to the soil


In the black Bone Garden

Hear me, O night


Know me, O earth

Like a wolf, I shepherd

I will no longer return home

The final steps


Breathing grows heavy


You can go no further

In the lands of the dead

Shame defines your humanity

It leaves you stranded, cast aside

You walk forever, burdened and alone

Branded by the stigma others bestowed
