The Shadows

Cursed by the ocean
Fleeing from the carnage of the sun
And knowing where it all had begun-
Weakened feet have to run.
Cradled in the arms of banishment
With an overwrought temperament,
What sort of woe left to stab such heart-
If it all had been torn apart?
Even the trees are unkind
For their silence agitates the mind
Only the shadows are left for solace-
Ancient shadows of forgotten days.
Only the shadows.
Only the shadows.

The mere sight of you is too painful for me But then I am too drunk with these words.

The Evil Hour

When this wretched Force quenches my smile, When courage is frail and strength is futile, May the Truth I hold dearest receive me. When Evil's fatal grasp is near And what reigns is deep, dark fear May the Truth I hold dearest receive me. When all I have are feeble icy breaths And all I see is the face of Death, May the Truth I hold dearest receive me.
