Heart of darkness

Heart Of Darkness
All the while as ghost ships pass in the night
Neath the hulls, the blackened sea reflects the moonlight
Each star glimmers upon the telluric waves
With wings of steel, Death circles above to proclaim his reign

I will no longer fear the night
I've been exiled from paradise
My heart, it burns in icy thrall
I feel the dark inside my soul

In darkened shroud, spectral forms danse macabre nocturnal
On graves unmarked, across olden plains of majesties infernal
Mountains old, row on row, grim horizons of demise
Walk the path, but do not go gentle into the night

I will no longer fear the dark
Upon my brow I bare the mark
A devil's idea of abstract art
I feel the night inside my heart

My life is a shield of pain and you know how I bleed
Beware all you mortals for my journey is of me

Long I dreamt of heeding the night
And stealing away to the shadows
I walk hand in hand with death
Down a long forgotten road
A path neither meant for Heaven nor Hell
Call of the raven, be my siren
Guide me to my limbonic cell
Where within I'll dwell as a tyrant

I will no longer fear the night
I've been exiled from paradise
My heart, it burns in icy thrall
I feel the dark inside my soul

My life is a shield of pain and you know how I bleed
Beware all you mortals for my journey is of me
