Say farewell to a fading beam

This leaden mist has frozen still

The spectre’s petrified into gloomy haze

Shrouding mystery that you revolt against

An end to your dreams of absolute power

Only spellbound stupor in the waking hour

Those opiate vapours of oblivion you inhale

Hush your dazed conscience wearing it away

My memory thrown down into the abyss

All my secrets entrusted into your clenched fists

My curiosity dazed with this mesmerizing glitter

When the pillars of cognition succumb and wither

Your soul aroused by a sudden flare

or is it wind howling out in the air?

Is there someone still crying and calling my name?

Or is it rain sobbing, moaning out in the gale?

Is this just an illusion or can I really hear

This nocturnal howling of sinister wail

Can I see shadows dancing in the moonlight rays

Or are these pale figures swarming in mortal embrace?
