Deep down in my soul, I feel so alone.
Night closes on my heart as the sun goes down.
Except for me, my sun never rises.
Darkness seeps into my soul, freezing to the bone.
Slowly it kills me inside, slowly, painfully, yet no sound.
I claw at the enclosing blackness in my life.
"Let me live!!" I scream into the shadow.
Yet my voice doesn't seem to carry through the oppression.
Alone I sit and cry, no friends in my unending strife.
Shadow and filth strip me of my soul, till I am hallow.
As I lose my self to this dark everlasting foe.
It fills me with a new strength to learn.
Cold as ice, my soul will freeze even fire.
No longer is it pain I receive, now I burn!
Burn when people wrong me, when anger will grow.
Once a good man, misunderstood yet good in heart,
tainted by the shadow, the anger and hate of others,
becomes a new man, cold and unafraid of death.
Venturing on without hope, love or brothers
After all the world has taught him, he has nothing left.
