Darkness never kept at bay
Darkness never kept at bay
Always wanting at my heart
Blood dripping everyday
A past so full of strife in every way
A taste of bile so tart
Darkness never kept at bay
Fighting life in every way
An ever piercing dart
Blood dripping every day
We die, in this we have no say
For life is but a dark art
Darkness never kept at bay
Screaming and weeping within each day
Thrashing and tearing out thy heart
Blood dripping every day
Slowly dying away
Consumed by the dark
Darkness never kept at bay
Blood dripping every day
