I watch you grappling with shadows

Fighting ghosts of dark desire

The past reaches to claim you

And I hear the crackling fire

There is no peace in darkness

No solace, only shame

The sound of breaking promises

Accompany the game

I feel the shadows close around me

And I try to call your name

The darkness only echoes

With the hopelessness and pain

There is no sense of honor

In the flame that drags me down

You battle with your demons

And I watch you as I drown
