And Man appeared; questioning the earth from which he emerged and which attracts him, he made his way toward somber brightness Now she calls into the night Hear the somber gloom Whispering the melody, She beckons the shadows forth Fright greater than ever before I tremble in her sight The eyes of a thousand men stare through me I must walk with the shadows Her beauty is all I can see Blinded of the forthcoming atrocity The whispers are haunting me I’m losing control of my identity I’m falling into insanity Where are you now? I need to hear your call Relieve me of this darkened pain This somber gloom will be my fall Where are you now? I need your call Kill this darkened pain The Somber Gloom devours all

Deadwood 04:26
Wandering near empty tombs, still-life rooms Burning a weak light Faintly the candle dies out Still marching on, hopeless cries all around In the end they scream Why? Why? I can see you, hear you I can’t walk this path on my knees Why is the silence growing? Loud, lonely, echoing Alone at your grave, I step into the past It’s crawling farther from Me, the light you once had was never meant to last You’re falling backwards Left all on my own My bloodied eyes turn grey Dead branches fall from the tree The wind screams away But everything’s the same You’re fading faster Cry to the night Hollow tears, lifeless dreams That which you feared has kept you trapped deep inside Feel what you feel It’s not real, it’s not real Call for the dead, no They can’t Hear, they see you, taunt you Feel, they know my pain all too well Gone, in the shadows knowing You left them in the dark Alone at your grave, I step into the past It’s crawling farther from me The light you once had was never meant to last You’re falling backwards Left all on my own My bloodied eyes turn grey Dead branches fall from the tree The wind screams away But everything’s the same You’re fading faster Longing for days of the past Broken dreams like shattered glass Still I reject myself, me and no one else Old songs that I used to hear Vacant hymns no longer near Drowned in my past regrets, times I can’t forget No, never again I’ll prevail, I won’t fail No, never again I’ll prevail, I won’t fail Free from my past life I must try Take me to my rapture Free from your cold spell Stuck in hell Stuck to times I can’t quell If there was a way to take me back in time I wonder if you’d see me The light you once gave was taken from my grasp I’m falling backwards Still all on my own My bloodied eyes turn grey Dead branches fall from the tree The wind screams away But everything’s the same I’m fading faster
