What answer do you have in sorrow's wake
But to abandon all beheldest dear?
Time ever longer in the coldest night
Withdrawn behind my mind's enclosure

It is kinder to accept one's nature
Than to inflict unto others your poisons
It is kinder to be destitute
Without a light to carry through the fog

If I held up a light, you would see me unravel before your eyes
Embittered and distanced, embers barely holding the glow
To tremble at thе thought of one more day
Distant lanterns glow in thе mist
Their warmth all but alien to my skin
