Midnight Toll

My past had passed or so it seemed
So full of hope, so full of need
A moment lost in cracks of time
What now is pain was once divine
Too late to see the cut most unkind
No more to do, the rite is mine

Kneel down to kiss the earth and pray
The time has come, and so I wait
It starts a melancholy dream
And when it tolls, it tolls for me
I feel the touch upon my brow
Nowhere left to go but down
It takes me where I need to be
And when it tolls, it tolls for me

My mind made up, the pact at hand
Lost all control like bleeding sand
I see her now, a blur, a dream
My soul is numb, my body screams
A tainted wish of what could be
Now faded thoughts belong to me
