Dethroned
Brought so low
I fall ever deeper below
No man remains unbroken before this
This impending trial
The weight of the years in silence
Leaving etchings engraved into flesh
Marks that will not vanish

Around your throat hangs the noose
The one that will seal your fate
A cruel grasp on the spirit that shattered
By the weight of the years in silence
The abyss is calling
Singing nightly serenades
And you answer its siren call

The cavernous despair engulfs me
I am without regret before this
As I become the author of this ending
Closing the final chapter
Let it all come to pass
Reap now the harvest of grief
Walk the dark path laid out before you
Heir to misfortune

Forever the dweller in shadows
Your end now draws near
Your wait comes to a close
Let this one last sunrise
Fill your weary eyes
Grieve not this departure
This ending of despair
