Gaslight

Keenly I recall, the toll of a distant bell
wherein I heard my doom, of which I'm loathe to tell
Gaslight shone bright for me
Praise be reality

Perception was manifest, all hope had passed me by
The horror the cards had cast, had tainted the dismal skies
I watched those creatures dance
Red death and deliverance

Mesmerised, and lost
in swirling mind
I'm gone
dim the light
and let the winter swallow me
foresight, hold on

The vermin had feasted well, upon my noble name
illusions of something seen, through a fucking traitors eyes
Leaden and losing peace
black bile melancholy

Fitful my fight relents, a pitiful weak tragedy
So shallow was my lament, yet the rot had buried deep.
O' please, abandon me
Praise be in sanctuary

Nevermore. In vain
Shall I
feel love and warming light
God speak
just once
so I'm not so alone
