Blessing From Below

Black and bruised, but still awake

I sink down to the oceans below

Procrastinating, just to achieve

A solace far darker than coal

Eyes to see, deceivious

My vision is clear

Hard to justify the cause

But the feeling is mutual

Coming with praise

Coming to prey on my own

You're nothing but a sin

Nothing but a sin, come again

First light comes, how relieving

To sink into the gallows below

Raw embers, sheer blake

A dreamlike death of silence and stone

Raging, scorching, as a shell shock

A sudden rapture, a blackout of mind

For all I've seen I endeavour

To eradicate your life

Downfall, shan't we all fall?

A bitter lesson to learn

Strangled, bruised and mangled

Still the animal rises

I won't be afraid

Illusive as your smile

I cannot restrain

To force the end time

Shattered parts of a last wail

Fill the gloom of feral silence

Shadows breathe a serenade

As the crows devour the shreds of life

Eyes to see, deceivious

My vision is clear

Hard to justify the cause

But the feeling is mutual

I won't be afraid

Illusive as your smile

I cannot restrain

To force the end time

And I see

From a sanctuary of feelings of stone

Your turmoil, your struggle

But my walls won't be shaken

By your masquerade

Blessing from below

Cursing from above
