Decadence

Decadence

Walking through the gates
Slowly creeping faster
No way out of this insanity
Punished for all the deeds done

Climbing into the abyss
Scratching and biting at nothing
Leaving all that is known behind
Forgetting the life that was once embraced

Scorching eyes pierce through the night
Clouded memories scar all that is light
Falling through an endless dark
Never knowing which way to turn

Floating on misty wings
Pending life sees no sentence
A great gift holding a sway
The time of end draws near

The downward spiral continues on
Twisting and contorting the real
Tainting and shaping unknown forces
Bleeding on the leaves of a forgotten past

Dragged down to a nameless hell
Playing with ghosts and shadows
The clouded staircase in the torn dark
Brings all light to a complete standstill
