Lakeside
I was left alone
In these dark passageways
This deadly cold
Almost helpless I lay
Naked, as if I were prey
Creeping like a silent worm
Out of hell and I say
Calling Death does no good
I would pray if I could
That somebody may find me
And carries away
All these dangers, engulfing
Strke and lead them astray
Just to get me out
Of my mortal body
That I can take
What they call revenge
I could leave this hole
This dark underground
Where others left me alone
Where I may just putrefy
I would seek my own
Destiny which is shown
In the mirror that it seems
My heart has turned into
It will never end
I know I cannot defend myself
Against all those enemies
Out there
I am gazing at the stars
I will never reach
As they did teach
I am just a nameless
Mortal soul
Damned now to
Living in this hole
Drained by thoughts so huge
Towering
There is no shelter
Absolutely no refuge
I am backing out, I see
They keep me from believing
That I could see reality
The only fear that they might have
Catching my breath
I try some new approach
Yes, I see that it can be done
By me, just flesh, so
Tender flesh and bone
I shall win
I shall wear my grim smile
Wish me luck, they will learn
To fear -
