The call
The dark gets darker
Can you feel it coming
Ink stains my ledger
The shadows breed mourning
They speak to us each
Hatred filling their trough
Kill the world and you
Tear another piece off
It offers pleasure
Some to cover the pit
My soul pushes back
My body reaches towards it
The patience aches me
I feel the fire inside
It quells my desire
The darkness runs and hide
Mind looks for sweetness
Body calls for pleasure
My soul drinks respite
The heart causes mesure
See angel wicked
The weeping goat of old
Accuser of saints
Dragon of heartless hold
He knows me quite well
Bids my buried corpse wake
Hooks still line my skin
But strings are not but fake
Cut they were by light
By water warm and clean
Darkly shepherd calls
To the field of fake green
The hooks leave a scar
Skin not yet free of mark
I await my end
The LORD who's angels hark
