The Promise Of Agony

Dark Angel

You tell me what will become of us?

Are the lines so drawn and the stage so set,

That as we age what reamins is burdened sufferance?

My mortality looms in its visage is doom,

And it's speaking to me alone.

The years will unfold but what is the use?

In solitude I'm left to atone.



The sins of my past are returning to gnaw at my core,

The scars I have left and those that have been left on me.

CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND, DESPONDENCY COMMANDS MY AGONY!

and I'm waiting to die alone...



As I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams,

A chilling descent into a phobic hell,

Insanity's blade performs it's correctional surgery.

Impending doom in this blackened room, I can g
