The Dark Embrace

One day it came, quiet and slowly
A little first, then more, then wholly
The birds, songs lost their tune and pace
My first encounter with the dark embrace
As days pass by, you pass by too
People chatter, they speak to you
Their words I hear, they make no sense
No cure for me, no chance to cleanse

My passion crumbles into dust
No love I feel, not even lust
In the mirror now I see no face
I give in to the dark embrace
I give in to the dark embrace
All colours once were bright and clear
Now ashen grey they are, just noise I hear
The water stinks, the air is stale
My hands slip slowly off the rail
My hands slip slowly off the rail

No sun for years, no moon at night
The ones I meet will leave in fright
No home for me, no room, no place
Encircled by the dark embrace
My rage and fury once were burning bright
They're frozen now, deprived of heat and light
What I touch just dies in any case
Deep inside the dark embrace

My mind becomes a groundless pit
My heart of void falls into it
My death would be an act of grace
But you can't escape the dark embrace
No, you can't escape the dark embrace
No sun for years, no moon at night
The ones I meet will leave in fright
No home for me, no room, no place
Deep inside the dark embrace
