Temptation

Lead me not into temptation
As the blood flows dark within my mind
As the darkness swallows me whole
and destroys what's left of my soul.
My brain fills with the percussion
that plays in my dreams and visions
and slowly descends as does my respiration
Is this it? I ask the darkness.
Have I reached expiration?
I look into the abyss
and death surrounds me
I say: "Lead me not into temptation!"
and turn to the world, the cruel  salvation.
My heart pounds faster in my ears
As the feeling of dread draws near
and the cold numbness drawing to suffocation
as the dreams turn to nightmares, and a fearful sensation
of the cloak of death as he surrounds me.
"Lead me not  into temptation!"
I yell in vain
as the eerie silence drives me insane
Death laughs at my failed attempts at evasion
as pools of blood surrounds me,
the sound of a blade falling in the distance
and Death grips me into him with cold, dark talons.
I have fallen to temptation...
