- GHOST LIGHT TWILIGHT -
Gothic candles flicker light
Trace the scars of last night
Murder the crows with laments
Burn Heaven til the flames are spent
The fate of the wraith is mysterious
And the rape of her faith is treacherous
Ghost light twilight
Where the living will cease to be
Twilight ghost light
And the nightmares are seizing me
Silver screens and silent screams
Inside the blackest dreams
Whisper secrets to relieve
At last you fail to believe
The fate of the wraith is mysterious
And the rape of her faith is treacherous
Ghost light twilight
Where the living will cease to be
Twilight ghost light
And the nightmares are seizing me
Everything I have loved has died now
And the absinthe never seems
To distort the truth that Laudanum brings
Dig down deep into frigid soil
To lay next to me
We watch as the serpent uncoils
And becomes unseen
I watch myself come undone
From deep within the gun
Dementia greets me again
It is where I've always been
The fate of the wraith is mysterious
And the rape of her faith is treacherous
Ghost light twilight
Where the living will cease to be
Twilight ghost light
And the nightmares are seizing me

this piece, it reminds me of a battleground
between the darkness of human emotion
and it`s dream state with the ending
finding no resolve except for the inevitable
despite the struggle ...
such chaotic ink, my King,
always in awe ...

You hit the nail on the head. I wrote this on my phone on my lunch break so it probably reflects on my work frustration. Thank you, dear Devil-lyn.

The wraith with raped faith is an incredible image that sticks deep and feels familiar. Brilliant piece
