Behind The Sky

Have you ever wondered
What’s hiding behind the sky?
Have you ever heard
The stars’ silent cry?
When the world is nothing
But never-ending darkness,
The light keeps on fading
And life is just loneliness.

I wish I could tell
Where this path is heading,
If there’s no Heaven or Hell
To decide what’s worth trying.
And if all we’ve left is a hope
That’s only an empty comfort,
I’m not sure I can cope
With just thoughts to distort.

At times I close my eyes
And I pretend to forget
All the hows and the whys,
The memories filled with regret.
Others I just stand quietly,
Watching as everything goes astray,
Lost songs humming silently.
Existence is only a mere delay!

And when the cold finally comes
And deletes all colours, all sounds,
Alone the endless silence runs,
Hangman that ends all rounds.
And there, in the dark, I see
Her fatal cloaked beauty,
The cruel smile spread just for me,
Sweetly she frees me from every duty.

Have you ever wandered
In the Earth’s hopeless lands
Where sometimes are heard
Vain prayers of amends?
Hellhounds growl in the blood,
Tears leave the eyes of the blind,
Flesh is ripped, torn apart.
No mercy left for our kind.

And you, let your eyes close,
Protect your still innocent soul
From the darkness beneath the rose!
Don’t let your essence fill the bowl
For the sacrifices in the name of pain!
Hell is all we’ve left to taste
In times when hate shall reign,
When stolen blood has gone to waste!
