When Darkness Reigns

My failure is so evident, I cannot hide
The torment face first to the earth
Plagued by the earthly mindset, I cannot
Escape my basement face first to the

Earth hands around my neck, I'd might
As well bow in shame over matched, outwitted
Defeat is my only name I believe
Everything you tell me you've got me

Convinced I'm guilty, I'd better close my
Eyes and sleep runaway 'cause tomorrow's
A better day but this is your hour
When darkness reigns when darkness

Reigns across the channels and mediums
I feel the loss face to face with the
Possible death of dreams mental purity
Fades to the obscene hence the search

For another crutch another void fill
Another cane to serve as much and
We'll mourn for the death of the brother
Lost and we'll toast to the death of

Another farce have I lost the battle but
Have I lost the war do I have what it
Takes to endure the setbacks, ignore
The scars you'd have me adopt that

Suicide you'd have me succumb without
Reply but you forgot the thousand
Deaths I've died you'd have me continue
This pace because you'd like me to join

Your race but that grave will be nothing
But an empty space arise from the
Dead oh sleeper prepare for the battle
Cry 'cause this is the hour when truth

Divides it's done revive the sick the
Surge of blood grab a torch and we'll
Light and burn ignite offensives to claim
The loss of sight wipe the sleep from

Your eyes release the fate of soul
Demise and it's for you to understand
The smoke will clear and fill the
Land and now the claims are made

Downcast eyes accompany shame the
Chaos amassed against will direct to
Find a home anew to face the depths
You've lost my enemy now taste

Defeat now taste your own saliva 'cause
You'll never quench the heat arise from
The dead and wake
