He gracefully speared my malleable young heart
With a spear of sulfur and his knowledge of the dark
There, in a split of a second - it all was gone
The moon, the stars and the majestic sun
Since then darkness has traveled with me
In this inner maze of confusion and greed
Sorrow is ever present, active in its mission
Behind me, nothing but a trail of friction
Days have slowly turned into years
Like I - once innocent - have turned evil and fierce
But sometimes - in a glimpse - I recall what's gone
The moon, the stars and the majestic sun
Ever since, sadness has traveled with me
In this somber maze of confusion and greed
The everlasting state of darkness
The universal all-consuming shadow of life
