Torn by the Winds of Sorrow
“The fire of love was burning, yet so low
That in the dark we scarce could see its rays
And in the light of perfect-placid days
Nothing but smouldering embers dull and slow
Vainly, for love's delight, we sought to throw
New pleasures on the pyre to make it blaze
In life's calm air and tranquil prosperous ways
We missed the radiant heat of long ago”
Standing still at the end of time
Watching my Life slowly drifted away
Anticipating for the forthcoming darkness
Devouring the remaining fate
Relive the memories I once lived
As my soul becoming ashes, vanishing in hollow
Experience again the myriad fragments of regrets
As they slowly becoming the winds of sorrow
Torn by the winds of sorrow
Torn to pieces in the bleak void
Unbearable rankling anguish
Yet within my weary arms I embraced this memory
Into oblivion I continue to languish
“Then in the night, a night of sad alarms
Bitter with pain and black with fog of fears
That drove us trembling to each other's arms--
Across the gulf of darkness and salt tears
Into life's calm the wind of sorrow came
And fanned the fire of love to clearest flame”
Thy Lord said follow my guide and your soul shall be cleansed
Against me, you shall be tainted with sins
Thy Lord said follow my path and you shall be blessed with immortality
Against me, lies endless calamity
Every promise hides a serpent behind
Coil after coil, trap within a lie
Every oath you pledge, pledge for life
Bounds with your souls, eternally blind
One after the other, promises never fulfilled
The so call God's Will is only a poor excuse
Futile prayers from the Church of Broken Promises
will not calm the unjust souls you left in the putrid darkness
We will lay a dreadful gaze upon Thy wings
As we withstand your fragile reign
As I descending deeper into the void
I rejoiced, as it marks the conclusion of your fucking ploy
In the moment
A simple gesture
Brings forth humanity
My blood still cold
My eyes still burn
Foolish belief I once held
Into the depths of sorrow I walk alone
Voices around me being to groan
Inside lives
The pyre that fuels
Emotional detached
Nothing left
Only hate
Black and white
I have nothing else to gain
Towards the oblivion I begin to fade
Into the beautiful silence, forever I stay
Manifested
A claw that tears
Spiritual detached
Nothing left
Only sorrow
Damned and cursed
I have nothing else to lose
A life in a void
You can't understand
Wandering astray
Forever I stranded
So many years, I have torn to nothing but only my tears
Forever I roam, for my tears are tears of silent seclusion that will never die
