Darkness - The Epitome Of My Soul

It shined, brighter and brighter
And as I got closer and closer
I could see it, at last, long last
As the last of my life drained out of me

Floating forever, waiting amidst the darkness
Nothing to see, to touch, smell, taste or hear
Waiting in a bitter field of nothingness
Imploring, recreating emptiness forever and ever

Outcast by both the strongholds of heaven and hell
Waiting in an everlasting purgatory, wasting away
Cast away from reality and broken away from life
Forever, waiting as time ticks away all darkness

Exiled away from existence, forced to waste all life
Tearing away at my soul, devouring it, never chewing
Forever just stuck in an inexistent land of Termina,
forced to regret beliefs, as I wait forever and ever
