The summer days are over They have turned a shade of grey The nights are ever colder And darkness guides my way My morning hopes have withered A rose in deathly gloom Governed by despair There is ash in the air A death painted portrait An exposé from within A twisted shade of colors As black as this damned night I feel cold No one to hold The night is nigh There is sorrow deep inside I feel the light fade away Colors void, there's only grey I feel bleak I'm all alone Sometimes I hate I hate myself There is a fear From deep within Nothing's left Here for me Summer's gone Bring me back Lead me into warmth Blow out the candles And take me far away The days are gone And the sky is grey Why must the colors fade away Her portrait still gathers dust And waits for another To paint myself upon the canvas The cold embrace of death A hole within myself A tomb so hollow and grim I would throw myself to the darkness And embrace all death had to give I feel cold No one to hold The night is nigh There is sorrow deep inside I feel the light fade away Colors void, there's only grey I feel bleak I'm all alone Sometimes I hate I hate myself Bring me back Lead me into warmth Blow out the candles And take me far away

This emptiness is real The harsh cold nights are growing longer And the sun sets forever Over my blackened heart In this my final hour I feel I do not understand Why does the night hunger For the emptiness inside my self The sun sets in the dismal sky The darkness creeps in through the fog The silence reclaims this sullen night And I am alone There is a cold fog on my window The bitter wind dances through the glass The bleak night cries out for me And it knows I am alone The black night sky sheds a tear And it then begins to cry Death sings it's solemn song And the emptiness is me This emptiness is real The harsh cold nights are growing longer And the sun sets forever Over my blackened heart In this my final hour I feel I do not understand Why does the night hunger For the emptiness inside my self

Chapter I: A Tear in the Night You stole the light And thrust me into My inner thoughts You tore the night And made it rain You with your serpent tongue You showed me fright A horde of clouds appear And melancholy rains I'm drifting through the depths of my mind A hollow land of pain Pale figures dance in the night While the flames scar the earth A bitter cold consumes the sun And covers all in an icy gown I feel the cold upon me An eternal eclipse of the sun.. Chapter II: Reprieve from The Darkness The sun is so bright Its rays so warm I'm floating now In a sweet memory I see her face Her shining eyes As I reach for her the sky turns grey And all the color fades away The darkness consumes the light And I'm falling into.. Chapter III: Lapse into Misery Hell I'm breathing in a living hell Bodies burn as I push ahead Angels, fallen, I hear them cry Their screams are my choir I'm walking now, demons at my heels I flee as they tear my flesh I fall and watch them feast They'll take me now.. Hell's hounds on my scent Pale eyes hunt for me I wish for death They'll take me now.. Chapter IV: Hope Breathes I return to you I'm here again Silence now.. I'm here with you I'll never leave your side You'll never be alone For my name shall soon too be set in stone
