Sands fall in time
Hymns of crime
Are mine in line
With other lies
Excuse me if I fall
Again from your paradigm
Lost you in the shadow side
Time falls like sand
Damn this hand
The brand of man
Tarnished and grand
The haunting of the halls
Again in your paradise
Found you on the shadow side
The portrait on the wall
Remember your sacrifice
Living on the shadow side
Sometimes I see the black
Streaked across the blue
Swirling with the crimson
Ghosts of all of you
The haunting of the halls
Again in your paradise
Found you on the shadow side
The portrait on the wall
Remember your sacrifice
Living on the shadow side
Excuse me if I fall
Again from your paradigm
Lost you in the shadow side

As I read this piece, I am reminded of the Nazgul. . .Mortal men & Lords perhaps searching for an ulterior purpose. . .It almost makes us want to weep. . .Excellent ink, my King. . .Enjoyed. . .~Devil~lyn.

That's very insightful. I thought of it as having a friend or loved one who remains just out of reach in your darkest times.

The thought did cross my mind, however, I had Lord of The Rings on mind for the last damn week!

Like I said above, it's basically about reaching out for something/one that is unattainable. Thank you, Dark, for your kind words.
