Soren's Forbidden Songs For Fallen Souls

THE DYING MAN

She closes her ears and eyes,
and reaches out to touch him;
to feel the man that must die,
to understand the reason.

I embrace the night, I can not fight
the desire of my secret life:
Find a doorway to the end;
and descend.

She imagines, as he dreams,
a dark, forbidden world.
A place where tired souls meet
and rest, and rest, and rest.

Promises long forgotten,
only silence filled the air.
An absolute oblivion,
for all eternity.

I embrace the night, I can not fight
the desire of my secret life:
Find a doorway to the end;
and descend.

She knows, this is his homeland
and he is anxious to leave
a world that is on fire,
fueled by endless greed.

Behind his eyes and further back
only sorrow can be seen.
Faith long lost in fellow man,
this is the sadness of things.

I embrace the night, I can not fight
the desire of my secret life:
Find a doorway to the end;
and descend.
