Crestfallen

I cry a tear of hate but it's lost in helplessness
The darkness eats away at the very embers of my soul
For the deepest love I have has dissolved before my eyes
My sorrow is bleak, I beg for deliverance

All emotion is consumed by an inner silence
All grief is unassuaged by disconsolate tears
I want for nothing, I live for nothing
I'm waiting to die, but I'm afraid dying

Crestfallen emotion
Wallowing in guilt trying
And drowning forevermore

Falling deeper into fear
My innerself is now
A sleeper of stone...

Anathema
