Stand pale in the moonlit night
Shivering, bathed in the soft light
Frigid wind stings the cheek of shame
Lips chapped in dry air
Speaking hollow words
Curses echoed in thought
Alone in somber contemplation
Recollections of a life lost
Dispose of severed skin
Let the guise be undone
Frigid wind stings the cheek of shame
Lips chapped in dry air
Speaking hollow words
Curses echoed in thought
Alone in somber contemplation
Reflection of a life lost
Façade broken
Hidden sins divulged
Forsaken
Encumbered in darkness
Sound is silence
Speech incomprehensible
Abdicate the struggle
Peace, all that remains to be sought
Let the fire be extinguished
Relent to the passionless frost
Listless in your end
Unwanted, unwatched
Slip into the void
Feel the cold
Sleep
