Lost Friend

As the raven flys in darker skies

Over forests black

Where fear resides

It is there I stand

Cold and alone

A raindrop of eternity

Life frozen

And as the wolf howls 

Strangling my mind to unspeakable terror

Somewhere out there within this hell

He laughs at me

My smiling devil

But I have begun

To see things strange

Now that I've made the choice

To return to hades

For in this labyrinth 

Of pleasure dead

Love is but a church bell

Announcing pain

Weep not for me my long lost friends
