The Terminal Breath

I court eradication

For its most perfect rest

I covet decay



This life I dispossess

Bring forth a thousandth winter

To bring the thousandth death

Consumed by darkness

So gasp a terminal breath



I became something I couldn't recognize

And with my strength rendered impotent

By a venom coursing through my veins

Frantically I drown under the weight of a fool's crown

I summon you to this realm of despair



No comfort of light

I call upon oblivion

Trapped within the cold grip of night

Obsessed with emptiness

The eminent pain delivered in unfamiliar forms

The spirit crumbles

Torn and strained under its own rusted might



I became something I couldn't recognize

And with my strength rendered impotent

By a venom coursing through my veins

Frantically I drown under the weight of a fool's crown



Oh deceiver, you have me

How you crush me I can't see

As I lay in your arms

Whisper to me that I'm safe from harm



Bereft of fervor

I renounce this mortal coil

Bury the remains upon a fruitless soil

A dispatch of fate; the poison in my veins

Fixing nature's aberration; Life, the hideous stain



I decay

I fade away

I court eradication

For its most perfect rest

I covet decay

This life I dispossess

Bring forth a thousandth winter

To bring the thousandth death

Consumed by darkness

So gasp a terminal breath
