When light fades as day draws to an end,
Cracks we could not see during the light of day become clear.

Once bathed in rays of sunshine the invisible mist descends,
Night awakes and takes hold of those once strong but no longer.

Unable to resist, too weak to step down,
The pull from the darkness far greater than the grip of life.

It is only now regret creeps in like a heavy woven blanket of doubt,
No longer can it be decided to return into the light, that time has past.

The path unfolds in front of you,
And dare not tread back for there is no road to return on.

The choice has been made and the journey set in stone,
Those who accompany you are your friends with faceless masks.

Once nights claws are felt, they will dig in deep,
The pain increases until it burns like hell fire.

Clouds form behind your eyes and darkness now lives within you,
The knowing that was once you has gone in place of nothingness.

You are a slave to the evil that now possesses you,
Attention there is no prevention of the unavoidable devastation to follow.

The drink is your lord, your master, your lifeline to survival,
Give in to the sadness of all that fall to the liquid poison.

Don’t shed any tears,
They will be of blood.
