Well of Darkness (Worlds Apart)
Enfolded by darkness
Existing in a solitary world
Filled with an absence of life and joy
Where agony is the cruel empress
And death seems the only salvation
Light from the outside life
Dimly seen through a veil of twilight
Laugther vaguely sounding
From a distance too far away
Warmth never close enough
To melt the growing glacier around my heart
Yearning - always yearning
For the sun of life
To reach through the encircling barrier
To lighten up the darkness
And thaw my frozen spirit
Always filled with a painful longing
For the sun to resurrect
The barren waste of my soul
And to make me alive again
-Not merely existing
Dreaming fragile, transparent dreams
Of happiness and love
Of laughter born from the world inside
While living in a nightmare
Where joy and laughter
Only are a sham
Never able to penetrate the veil of steel
And the harsh reality
Are made of bitter tears
Silently shed in solitude
Desperately reaching out to touch the sun
But failing - always failing
Tumbling back down into the darkness
A stone thrown into a deep well
Slowly sinking ever deeper
Into an icecold, pitch-black embrace
Draining my strength and my light
Making life an eternal struggle
Against the ever increasing temptation
Of accepting the kiss of the Dark Lady
