The Darkest Dawn...

The sun no longer sets But nor will it rise again As the wind sings it's swansong Desolation breeds in an eternally black dawn Funeral dirge of the wind In An eternal night An embrace of the dying wind And of forever frost Though we wept to the sound of a rusting mute knell We shed the last tears To the symphony ...Of nihilistic misery... The tree of life Once As old as time itself Wilts below the sky To disintegrate with the sands of time Dimensionless, timeless No one stood before it Once, it stood tall Now it joins in heaven's fall We will never enter the pipe dream Of a salvation that was never meant to be Bound to a past now lost Autumnal zephyrs bring winter's frost Souls once free Escaping to the realms of hades Every tear is a lost dream A withering memoriam morti The ravens and the crows Drifting with the winds The suns waning gleam Descends into quiescence The sign of a perishing sun Mans fall into oblivion An eternal winter's frost A sign that all faith is lost Jesus wept...I laughed the very last As We sink into oblivion To perish And To freeze in the void of nothing As we watch the last star's final gleam No longer guarded by the vivacious grace of the sun A grudging acceptance of the eternal black dawn A grudging acceptance of our dénouement... We enter the darkest hour Only for time to stand still...forever The flame of life now dimly glows Scorn filled laughter sounds from the God you once so foolishly followed... My heart grows black as the night Only lit by the beacon of Lucifers light The last sign Of a forgotten age... Grant me the keys to an eighth kingdom of hell Where I may forever dwell In black blissful solitude
