In This Abyss
I am afraid,
Darkness is surrounding,
Spear of fear penetrating,
Slicing through my each bone,
As I walk past ones long gone,
I am lost,
I feel the abyss I am caught in,
I create false dreams to keep goin'
But where, this is so dark, so endless,
My flesh rotting with this hollowness,
I have aim,
Aim to keep up,
Aim to break out,
Aim to achieve freedom,
Aim to be what I am,
What can break me,
A Sword, A Whip,
A Spell, An Illusion,
A Cage, Eternal Burn,
Drowned in fear,
Never to see rising sun,
No none can break my will,
I won't haste, Nor will slow down,
I don't want power or any crown,
All I care for is you,
Blind to what is false what true,
Let me slow the time down,
And take a deep close look,
Where I stand, and where you are,
All I find is just a coin,
Sides of which we two are.
