Who Am I?

Black, cold, dread and defeat
Soul has a hole, it’s where death and pain meet
Curled up in a ball, scars covered by skin
In the mind, the back is for protecting
Warmth griping the fall of Man
Trying to save that which is damned
The few that care, the few who accept
All I fear is what’s found in depth
When I feel something other than pain
It’s pulled in so far, what’s to gain?
It’s been so long, yet I’ve learned nothing at all
Your heart gives me the strength to not fall
Darkness, darkest call, insignificant and small
Is existence, why stand tall?
Surviving Umbrae maul, just waiting upon the call
If you’re gone, I’ll search the whole planet
Will I die if I fail, and if I do, will I be upset?
I will find you, bind you, and me, too
Not together, plans fall through?
My one fear, my one tear
Don’t want to exist, don’t want to be here
Cut me open, hold on to what you own
Sever it, leave the corpse, over thrown
I’ll hold yours, too, but I’ll watch it bleed out
To see if you’re as empty as me, soul as slippery as a trout
Swim through the river of love
Too much for me, significant as a dove
Being the only one to hold on, one thing I’m afraid of
One love, one death, deflowered and rotting, I’ve had enough

The moon comes out, I hear the calling
Erratic howling, the flying are really falling
From the sky, why did they not die?
Not doing to hide, no brute force, use the brain to spy
On the mind, the night tells me to accept
And descend, find secrets, kept hidden
They’ll be gone with me in the end
Why tell others? And weaken myself
Spreading the teaching could be hazardous to my health
Listen to the whispers from the Shadows
Draining the resisters, destroying the foes
What are the lessons, what does it teach?
Are they just mindless aggressions, or is it insightful preach?
Should life be cherished, or do we not matter?
If there is no higher purpose, it must be the latter
But not me, not now, not ever
If I have ties, then I must sever
Let the anger and pain fuel my strength
Give me an unstoppable power for any given length
Of time, or I could make yours mine
Slip into your mind, intertwine
Intermittence due to a light resistance
Domination, creation of an abomination
If me you’re facing, your past, I’m erasing
Darkness flows at it’s own pace, in any case
It shows on your face, and your words smash heads like a mace
What has the night told me?
It gave me the answers and set me free

The warmth from the sun, but without glare
No harshness, but it’ll make you blind if you stair
The lies blinds all followers
Generation after generation, countless wars
A shrieking sound coming from above
Deafening you from the truth, but when push comes to shove
The light was never right, and the wisest only come out at night
The sun made me not able to see
And the shrieking made my ears bleed
It’s my job to make it night during the day
And if there is a will, there is a way
How to make the tangles of lies come undone
Call upon the moon to eclipse the sun
The Shadows crawl into your head
Don’t turn away or it’ll make you dead
The water acts in the strangest way
The trees and grass wildly sway
Snow and hail fall to the shaking ground
Volcanoes erupt to show the light cast down
It’s almost tragic, indeed
But truth must succeed
And you must see
The beauty in the Light’s defeat
Then when the moon moves from view
The Shadow stayed, and there was a quiet clue
