Inkwell of the Damned

This glorious world of my reign My darkest dreams, exquisite pain I'm cursed to depths of endless fire As the God of Hellfire, my desire. The flames of evil bathe me. And burn me to my core My agony and pain enrage me As I become forevermore The fires of hell, they call me To take away the pain, I feel I'm the ruler of the inferno And my reign forever real No hope, no light, no way out It's all just a cruel game The power of the underworld, it's mine For me, there is no fame The heat and anguish, they torture me But I still stand proud and tall For I am the God of Hellfire No one else can have it all.

  Tra pped in this prison , I cannot escape My demons , they haunt me , I 'm bound in their grasp My body is broken , my spirit is weak My mind is a prison , I cannot speak My thoughts are my capt ors , my mind is the jail The darkness and silence , a never - ending w ail The fear and the sadness , the anxiety too They are the jail ers , and I 'm their captive , it 's true I 'm chained to a wall , no hope to be found My life 's slipping away , no one hears the sound The demons , they laugh , they revel in pain They take pleasure in watching me go insane My prison is dark and it 's cold and it 's bleak But I keep on fighting , I will not be me ek My will is strong , I 'll break free one day And those demons , they 'll be gone , and I 'll be okay .

Darkness lurks, it hides in shadows, A part of us we try to hide. But the eye betrays our secrets, It shows what's buried deep inside. The pain, the hurt, the fear, the guilt, Emotions we can't keep inside. They seep through, like light through glass, And in the eye, they cannot hide. So take a look, and what you see, Is what the soul wants to impart. For the eye, the window to the soul, Will always show what's in your heart.

  In the darkness of my mind I am alone, Lost in the shadows, completely unknown. No light shines in, no hope to be found, Just the emptiness I feel that surrounds. I try to escape, to find my way out, But the darkness pulls me down with a shout. A voice whispers softly in my ear, Telling me that no one is near. I reach out my hand, but it's just air, The darkness is all I can feel; it's everywhere. I can't break free, I can't escape, This darkness is my only fate. The memories of my past come to haunt, The pain and the fear, is what they want. To consume me, to take control, To leave me forever in this hole. I close my eyes and try to pray, But the darkness just won't go away. It's all I know, it's all I see, It's the darkness that is inside of me. So I surrender, I give in, To the darkness within I am alone, I am lost, In the darkness of my mind, and at what cost?

  In shadows dark and deep, A ghoul doth silently creep, With eyes that gleam and fangs that gleam, He waits for victims in his dream. His claws are sharp and ready, His hunger fierce and unsteady, He stands in shadows, ever still, His prey, a thrill he cannot kill. His victims come with unsuspecting tread, Their screams, a song to fill his head, He feeds upon their fear and pain, His hunger, forever to remain. But even ghouls must one day die, Their shadows fade and spirits fly, So let us hope that in the end, This ghoul's victims will find a friend.

  Echo's of sadness, echo's of pain Reverberate through my mind again Memories of loss and sorrow linger Like a haunting song that forever will sing The darkness surrounds me like a cloak Shrouding my heart in an endless smoke I see the faces of those I've loved But they're gone now, pushed and shoved The echo's of pain, they never cease A constant reminder of my grief I long for the light, but it's out of reach Trapped in this darkness, I can only beseech For a glimmer of hope, a ray of sunshine To break through this eternal night time But until then, I'll listen to the echo's Of sadness and pain, my constant foes.

  Down into the depths of the fiery abyss Man descends, with each step, a fateful miss His sins and deeds, a weight upon his soul A descent into darkness, a story old Through the gates of Hell, he is led astray By demons and fiends, that never play The screams of the damned, they fill his ears As he realizes, his end is near In the Lake of Fire, he is cast For eternity, his fate is cast No repent, no forgiveness here Only eternal pain, and eternal fear He looks back on his life, with regret For all the wrongs, he can't forget But now it's too late, for amends to make In Hell, forever, his fate to take Man's descent into Hell, a tale of woe A reminder, to always, the right path to know For in the end, what we sow, we reap In the hereafter, our souls, to keep.

In the shadows of the night, Where the moon casts an eerie light, The supernatural awakens, With secrets it has forsaken. From the depths of the abyss, They rise, with an ominous twist, With eyes that gleam like fire, They inspire fear, a burning desire. They walk among us, unseen, Their presence always keen, With powers beyond our ken, They control our fate, again and again. The wind whispers their name, A chill runs down your spine, you feel the same, For they are the masters of the dark, And they will leave their mark. So beware, as you walk alone, For the supernatural, they have flown, Into the night, with an ominous gleam, And a haunting, eerie scream.

Till death do us part, we pledged our vows In a ceremony, hallowed and proud But little did I know, death's icy grip Would tear us apart, before our lips Could utter the words, forever and more Till death do us part, forever a bore For death came too soon, and took you away Leaving me here, to mourn and decay I wear this ring, a symbol of our past A reminder of love, that couldn't last I whisper your name, in the dead of night Hoping to see your ghostly light But all that's left, is a gaping hole In my heart, where love once stole And as I lay here, on my deathbed I know that we'll finally be wed Till death do us part, it said with a grin For death has reunited us, within But it's a cold comfort, in this eternal dark To be together at last, but forever apart.

  In shadows deep, I dwell alone No love to call my own My heart a casket, sealed tight Empty and cold, in the darkest night I wander aimlessly, through the abyss My soul, a gaping wound, forever missed By those who claimed to love me once But left me here, to suffer and wince Memories of love, now but a dream Fading away, like a fading beam Of light that once shone bright But now, extinguished in the night I scream out for love, in this void But echoes are all that I avoid No one to hold me, no one to care Just this endless emptiness, to bear I am but a ghost, unloved and ignored My heart a black hole, forevermore In this eternal darkness, I'll reside Forever unloved, with nothing inside.

At death's door, a broken man lies still, with no more fight His spirit, weak and weary, can no longer bear the night But then, a guiding spirit comes with soothing words so kind She takes him by the hand, and drums a steady beat in his mind With her light to guide the way he rises from his bed Though fear and doubt still linger, they fade as she leads ahead With every step, he feels anew the will to live and thrive And as they reach the end in view he feels his spirit come alive The spirit whispers in his ear "You've fought so bravely, dear, now let go and have no fear I'll guide you through the veil, here." With a smile, the man closes his eyes and takes her outstretched hand His spirit freed, he peacefully dies in her loving, eternal command.

                                        Thoughts of Despair And a heart without care I try to run But the darkness is never done It follows me every step A companion I can not escape, yet It's part of me, I know But it's a part I cry to let go. I try to fight To see the light But the darkness wins And the pain begins It's part of me see But it doesn't have to be I'll keep up the fight Or will I die in fright. In the depths of my soul Lies a darkness, and a goal To overcome, to be free From this madness inside of me.
