Pounding, beating, flowing

Blinding light, pulsing, glowing

It assumes complete control,

The essence of the soul

It feeds on pain, it lives on fear

No rest, no peace, no sanctuary here

A prison, dark and lonely place

An unlit room it hides its face

With every sound, it bleeds the ear

With every streak I disappear

It has no form, it makes no sound

It makes its strike and pain resounds

It resonates within my mind

A constant search, no peace to find

Sadness, sorrow fills my eyes

It streaks my skin, it tells its lies

If for only just one moment's breathe

That silence comes, even death

Now its servant, controlling me

It still refuses to set me free

With every touch, even wind

It rips my flesh from within

Heavy hearted, down trodden still

Its taken me and all my will

I obey its wants, each command

It's all I know, I take its hand

It leads my path to feel its pain

And there I follow quite insane
