The Darkness Promised

The darkness was as the promised

A hole

A place of no return

The occasion where the light at the end of the tunnel

Is a train

The berth where cobwebs collect

And dust resides

Over jars of souls that once were

The dwelling of sin and promised happiness

One promise yet to be fulfilled

The locus of depths one still must experience

The low you must reach before the high

A musty corner

In which sits misery

Her glowing eyes attract you

Into a pit out of which you will never return

The residence of loneliness

Though you're never truly alone

The whereabouts of a witch

A demon

A beast whom you cannot escape

Or so it seems to you

You narrow minded fool!

Can you not see life?

One comes this way to save your ill-fated soul

You who are sunken

Breathe this new vitality

Regain your strength

You desperate soul

Here comes a Savior

A kind of which you've never seen

He comes to save you from yourself

And the nature so deeply hurried within you

Take this hand

And see

See the world you never knew

As misery leaves her corner

Take up your new beginning

And live again
