I was once a man, now I am nothing at all

When the lights go out on me, I can hear them call



I’ve done my best to keep this fire from going out

And yet I know just how this game will end without a doubt

The shadows encroaching now, they seal my fate, suffer devout

Extinguishing flame, they call my name yet do not shout

I’m drawn to death in shame, I do not care, not anymore

I can’t escape this pain, tendrils ensnare, this darkness feels alive



I don’t know why I feel so sick or why lethargy rots me

My carnal instincts terminate and this carcass loses weight



Erosion of the will

Loved ones say they worry still

I do not care, I burn away



I was once a man, now I am nothing at all

When the sun has set on me, I can hear them call



I’ve done my best to keep this fire from going out

And yet I know just how this game will end without a doubt

The shadows encroaching now, they seal my fate, suffer devout

Extinguishing flame, they call my name yet do not shout

I’m drawn to death in shame, I do not care, not anymore

I can’t escape this pain, tendrils ensnare, this darkness feels alive



This darkness feels alive
