Shadows Of Black

Sitting here in shadows of black
As my soul is under attack
Fighting demons that always come back
So with the devil I've made a pact

I know what he expects from me
My life in exchange for immortality
A transformation made in secrecy
Revealing my true identity

I've searched within the darkest places
Been shown the wretched forlorn faces
Of abandoned souls with bloody traces
Remnants of their once known graces

The visions in my darkest dreams
The sounds of torturous empty screams
Fill me with an urgent need
Releasing me unto another breed

I choose to walk beside my keeper
In this life I'm growing weaker
In the dark I fall in deeper
As I no longer fear the reaper

I wait in silence for the sign
When I must cross that final line
Where there is no such thing as time
And suffering is not a crime

In pools of darkness I will lie
Letting out another remorseful sigh
For there are no more tears to cry
As I count the days until I die
