The Pit and the Pendulum

by Caiatus

/
1.
Forlorn Years of toil that never pay As the colors all fade to grey In the wake of sailed yesterdays Morose Plucked again from false fantasy Life's unsatisfactory Only free in fleeting dreams "Life was simple, quiet, richly pleasurable and then the darkness began to fall" Well-intentioned but he died A loathing seether, crippled inside Shattered dreams had run dry He let them down bled well

Apathy 05:47
I'm trapped in agony Crushed between two slabs No emotion crosses me Let me, just once, feel sad It doesn't even hurt To write my own goodbyes I tried for what it's worth But I've put in all my time When will serenity come? When will I feel again? What have I become Just a shell of a man? No resolution No coming home again No restitution No light comin round the bend No! When will serenity come? (When will eternity call?) When will I feel again? (Sweet afterlife I've chosen) What have I become (My reckoning has begun) Just a shell of a man? (I take this life in my hands)

Behold my pain You'll feel the same Gaze at your face in the mirror Every day death ambles nearer Wring out a smile This choice is final I reap my suffering Witness the joyous end I bring
4.
Iridescent legacy A cache of mournful memories Time for your yearly encore I'll hear your ghost sing once more Like it was only yesterday No tomorrow with the end in sight Eye of ember makes its final strike Hindsight bathes a dour sky tonight Feel the absence of his burning blaze And the call of all who've met the grave In the heart of all your dying days The hell of your posthumous years Burns beneath life's cracked veneer The void seems a reprieve I pray that when I leave I'll see you there See you there Again No tomorrow with the end in sight Eye of ember makes its final strike Hindsight bathes a dour sky tonight Feel the absence of his burning blaze And the call of all who've met the grave In the heart of all your dying days Have faith your suffering is destined to decrease We've only precious moments before we are deceased
