Gleam in the Dark


The dark night spreads like the sea
Like waves of an endless song
My mind beckons to me
Ushering me to move along
My body feels like a cocoon
I do not feel any stars or the moon
My heart is heavy and grows stiffer
Everything seems a fading whisper.

This isn't who I am.
My head aches so deadly
The needle pushes not so gently
Fighting a feeling makes me shiver
Eyes full of blood it makes me wonder
The room is spinning, the clouds are parting
The clock is cracking, in the emptyness I am drowning

How I wish for the night to freeze
How I pray for a moment in the breeze
How I long for my life's essence
How I want to hear the sounds of silence.

I see a star in the distant sky
Radiant beam lights up my eye
Oh yes, a shooting star in the sky
I watch as the fire tail trails by

They say shooting stars come once in a while
Make sure you make your wish before they die
I make a wish, hope it comes true
I have always done, I have waited, but they never do.

I take it upon myself the task
To resurrect my life, others I cannot ask
I tread through the trail awaiting the end
On this road I can only ascend
What lies at the end is the answer to all
The higher I go, the further I fall
I will do what I do best
For men are always put to the extremes of test
I will stand up and give it my all
For if I do that, my soul shall not fall.
