Damnation

From The Chronicles of Death

"Damnation"

In nightmares of damnation
I've been sinking pretty low.
They better send resuscitation
before I have to go.

There's no window in creation
nothing more I can demand.
I'm a real life incarnation,
don't expect you'll understand.

I've been to Hell and back again
seen the Devil's gates in flames.
There's no one left to tell but then,
there's no one left to blame.

There is no more salvation
and no one seems to know?
why we live in this stagnation,
emotions dragged in tow.

I have a midnight mistress,
she's my darkest lady fair.
She understands my madness
with sullen eyes and Raven hair.

In Lady Midnight's cold dead eyes
reflections never stay,
she fills my head with empty lies
Says, "Join me where I lay."

Let daylight fade and grieve the day
blackest night come in and jest,
let Lady Midnight have her way
and "Damnation" have the rest.
