Lost Soul Lullaby

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray no lord my soul to keep

There is no force of which could reap

The nothing teeming in the deep

So if I die before I wake

No angel heralds my daybreak

Nor demon hand may try to take

For I am of a darker make

A child of a loveless womb

A ghost within a nameless tomb

A mask over a faceless gloom

A blight upon a boundless bloom

In my quest to find the light

I've never seen the world so bright

Yet fade it did to mundane's plight

Succumbing once again to night

Black ink within each twisted vein

And wicked thoughts inside my brain

Converging through my heart to stain

These pages bleeding out in pain

Yet words are all I have to show

How lost and lonely I must go

Into the void of bleakest woe

Dead before the dawning's glow
