Lyrics

Deepest cold despair you are my mistress,
Companion during the long hours of day,
My lover throughout the darkest night,
Never in peace do you leave my side.

Dispassionate in your thoughts of me,
Veiled icy smile that mocks my torment,
Hazed empty eyes that show no warmth,
Cold hands that scratch and tear at me.

Darkness is all she has to give,
A smile that is bitter and empty,
A life that is too hollow to live,
She never shows my soul any pity.

My relentless pleas fall upon deaf ears,
Laughing at each with mirthless abandon,
Reckless thoughts you pour into me,
Hope torn away for your amusement.

Madness no avenue of escape from you,
Even in delusion you will be there,
Ever in the dark recesses of my mind,
Invading my dreams with hurt and dread.

My daily prayers for solace go unheeded,
Ignoring my plaintiff cries for release,
No mercy is shown from any quarter,
To know the peace found only in the tomb.

Darkness is all she has to give,
A smile that is bitter and empty,
A life that is too hollow to live,
She never shows my soul any pity.

Darkness is all she has to give,
A smile that is bitter and empty,
A life that is too hollow to live,
She never shows my soul any pity.
