Valley of shadows

by Mild insomnia   Dec 11, 2004


Feels like there is nothing left,
The world would drown if I, released the tears I wept,
But I hold them back,
I’m sick of wanting what I lack,
I’m so tired of being here,
Just wish that my calls, god would hear.

At sunset I kneel and pray,
“God please take me away”,
I lean upon a cold stone of grey.

I walk through shadows in the valley,
Crossing the borders, yes I’m already,
In hell, but still I’m here – living,
My dreams,
The reason I won’t sleep…

Each day just bleeds into one,
Weeks and months linger on,
And I cannot sleep until the dawn,
Of a new day,
When I can gladly say,
I’m happy I’m here today,
But nothing can take the pain away.

If there’s someway or somehow,
Please don’t wait to strike me down,
I beg of you, god, take me now.

I walk through shadows in the valley,
Crossing the borders, yes I’m already,
In hell, but still I’m here – living,
My dreams,
The reason I won’t sleep…

It’s just so hard to make myself let you go,
For when the west winds blow,
Your words echo, and fade so slow.

If you are gone, then god I long, to be with him,
I’ll pay for all my sins,
Open your gates of gold - let me in.
