Darkness is the Man

Darkness is the man who doesn't know himself.

I.

Darkness is the man

who doesn’t know himself.

The one who think he stands in the light

with a foot planted on the edge

of the Hell's abyss.

II.

He will live a lie

without a thought

to his own demise.

III.

He will fail

but believe his self-induced

Victory.

He will fail

while treading in the deep end

though he can’t swim.

IV.

For him is darkness,

for he’ll never know

the greatest deception

Is the one he imposed

on himself.

He'll never know

triumph and failure,

for he'll never know

the difference.
