Gone Away I
It is somber and serene, only the moonlight senses life.
I perceive the unknown; fear overwhelms me.
Oh Lord, my merciful master; it is hopeless, the pain wins.
I wish I knew this impending destiny of sorrow.
The solution is to sleep; never be awakened.
I guess I should lie alone until fewer angels depart.
Oh Lord; tell me what is here, what is there.
Nobody seems to care,
Everyone seems to stare.
Lord, my master, will I survive or wither away?
Will sorrow fixate upon my soul forever?
Send me a sign, a token to believe the serene of this night.
Recognize me for what is to be, to live and fight.
If endurance isn't to be, thus I perish, let me never wake,
Blind my eyes so I don't witness the shame and pity,
Deceive my soul; soften the pain of what I have lost,
The twilight has dimmed; I have departed.
