Mourning Star

As I wail staring up to the sky
Feel the wrath boiling beneath my skin
Doomed to die here all alone
Here I'll falter under the moon

Here in this hell scape the onset of winter chills my bones
Barren trees encroach upon me as they whisper deceitful sweet nothings to my tortured soul
Here I lye feeble and worthless against the grain

There she lay
Cold lifeless ripped from her limbs
Blood strewn around
Entrails hung from the trees for them all to see

Reeling back
Heartbeat explodes into pandemonium as I remember she wasn't alone out here
Where is my child
Frantically searching about the ground
Praying to all the gods that my precious would be in my arms again before the night falls

Tucked away in a thicket rests the lifeless body of my only son
Oh gods why

I'm alone staring into the night
I'll cut my wrists to escape this illusion before me
For I am of the damned
Here I'll falter under the moon

Nightfall wraps me in this cold veil
Hands trembling as I reach down to cradle him
Stumbling towards the distant shore
He shall not rest on this haunted ground
If only I could take his place

What is the point of me going on
What is this feeling of despair I feel wrapping my mind in guilt
How I wish for death
Here in the dwindling light I fall to my knees drawing my beloved blade to turn on myself at last
We shall meet again

Here in the twilight of the forest I steal myself
But a mere sliver of torment in lieu of eternity
I feel myself slip away

I'm alone staring into the night
I'll cut my wrists to escape this illusion before me
For I am of the damned
Here I'll falter under the moon

This torment released from me
I am reborn in
A sea of drowning souls
Awaiting heaven
