Lament Of All Things

Light bends round the heart
Blood swells, vessels bulge
Head swims, soul gasps
Last days, final rites

The lament of all things
In the dying light of the day
A wraith borne of torment
A shadow under the veil

The failure of ancient God
Fear soaked delusions
The absence of any joy
Has left me defeated

Light bends round the heart
Will it ever stop?
These dreams are empty
Even tears are gone
