For All Eternity
..........................
As I walk through the
Valley of the Shadow of Death
My heart grows weary
and I am short of breath
My eyes perceive
the dark path ahead
that the light tries to blind
to guide me away
from the dead
But still I walk
and ever on -
further away
from the light of the sun
Further away
with each single heavy step
cold and dark surround me
as they pierce my head
Leafless branches
from the whispering trees
whip my body
as I crawl on my knees
Cut and wounded
they whip me again
Searing my soul
in the thunder and the rain
Jagged shards of glass
I walk upon
A hell of my own making
yet my hell is never done
For there is no end
to where I be
Forever
cursed to walk
for all eternty
And the devils upon
black stallion steeds
view my presence
as my aching spirit bleeds
They point to me
then gallop away
hysterically laughing
as their horses do bray
Now I join the shadows
of the night
numbered with them
forever tonight
From this moment on
I will never be free
but to walk with
the shadows
for all eternity
