It begins with the darkness enclosedObscuring the dangers once seen so clearlyHiding from impending truthThat haunts our masqueradeFocus lies upon the selfIn a false imageI have seen my own endI witness it over and over againThe hours assault me as thoughI battle time itselfThe fires of contemplationIgnite my eyesImprisoned within this uncontrolled state of mindMy vengeful visions become relentless captorsLong live the everlasting nightLaying siege to the sensesLaying siege to the fortress of the mindThe fears change with timeA trembling body, intensifying heatStimulates provoking thoughtParalysis begins, involuntary contractionsAwaken consciousness Encased in flesh once again |
