Condemned as Prey

Sorrow chokes the air and fills the lungs with such noxious fumes
«Breathe deep,» she says, «For I am forever throughout this world.»
She is the creeping shadow cast by every winter’s moon
Frigid darkness to chill the fragile skin of man, condemned as prey to her
unyielding hunger
The world is cleansed by Sorrow’s touch
Devoured, flesh
Devoured, bone
Condemned as prey
All hope dismissed as fallacy, a truth known beyond words
A curse upon Serenity, who clings to shallow truths
This ghost will stalk reality 'round every darkened curve
The true face of humanity, we get what we deserve
Sorrow chokes the air and fills the mouth with words of anguish
«Speak with ease,» she laughs, «for I will always guide your tongue.»
Sorrow chokes the air and fills the lungs with such noxious fumes
«Breath deep,» she says, «For I am throughout this world.»
Condemned as prey
