Darkness lies within every corner of the world,
all of the good times shatter like a broken mirror, fading away.
Statues collapse, vibrant cities lose their colour,
erasing the popularity, their name and their meaningfulness.
What more can we all really lose?
People shiver, tremble and clearly don't come,
here, demons control and dragons rule, it's a disaster they're so cruel,
pale blue skies are no longer to be seen, what horrible times there must have been.
Everything in this world is pitch black,
anyone who enters this haunting world, can't ever come back.
The power of darkness is believed to be unbeatable always engulfing the sweetest of times, threatening the innocent.
Darkness in general is just much, much worst.
The terrors of the ghastly doors spell out unseeable mysteries of the wilderness,
The silhouette behind this is a broken puzzle, never to be solved,
Darkness overall won't ever be resolved.
