- DOWN AGAIN -
It seems the end has come again
Just like a spectre from the past
Malice in the air of despair
I can hear the devil's laugh
Riled up like a voiceless whisper
Screaming across empty vespers
Jaded emerald glasses
Spill onto the unwashed masses
I am down again
Darkness consuming me
One step closer to the grave
I'm the phantom of yesterday
Burn it down again
Fire consuming me
In the ashes of my grave
I'm the phantom of yesterday
When the haunting of the lyric
Fails the moon and the spirit
The serpent spits the venom
Across the face of the demon
I sense the end is drawing near
Harrowing the house of the dead
Lamenting the same grey decay
Or are they just in my head?
I am down again
Darkness consuming me
One step closer to the grave
I'm the phantom of yesterday
Burn it down again
Fire consuming me
In the ashes of my grave
I'm the phantom of yesterday
The moon is blue tonight
Leaving a bittersweet
Taste upon my parched lips
I swear I want some more
I am down again
Darkness consuming me
One step closer to the grave
I'm the phantom of yesterday
Burn it down again
Fire consuming me
In the ashes of my grave
I'm the phantom of yesterday

Thank you, Gabe. This was heavily inspired by the band Pain. I've been digging their shit lately. Give them a listen!

It seems as if we must those demons lest they feed on us. Thank you, Lady Crim.

Lord Hades...your ink here is felt...the first two stanzas take hold quickly...phantoms circling about many these days...cycles will come to an end and the flow will start again...
