Shadow's Victory

I hold my dreams up to the sky, begging the stars to take them.  To light the world again.

                Fill this blackness with my light!   Chase the shadows with my might!

But there’s no answer to my cry.  The stars have gone.  My darkness chased them away.

I believed the lie, I killed the song inside my heart for a place to hide my dirty soul.

My heart is broken, its blood has stained my chest.

I force my way through the dark. Blind.

I close my teary eyes.  Weep.

I try to remember. Can’t

Was there ever any light?
