Eden In The Dark

Dark falls the Eden
and swiftly it sails
into my embrace
and out of sight,
for certain there is Nothing
but the frail beauty of death
with its sombre
music style and emptiness.
Look twice
up to the broiling sky
where charm and silence
are as one
and vapours
twist the evening song.
And dark it falls again,
no longer do I drown
in this sleeping breath,
I cast away a dagger heart
as sorrow
holds passion chained...
