Black
By: Jeff R. Young

Let me paint a picture
A dark and brutal fantasy
It's a necessary evil
Encouraged by insanity
This was my final hour
The ruination of my soul
Nothing held my views together
I was disconnected from the whole
I couldn't wake from this nightmare
I was suspended in a dream
Where no one could ever find me
And no one could hear me scream
I've held this hell together
I know it could be worse
More self-inflicted murders
The carnage feeds the curse
I give up hope for madness
My trust in faith has gone
Yet I found my finest hour
In the black before the dawn
My last moments spent in shadow
My last screams drowned by agony
My curse corrupts the faithless
As I avenge my sanity
