This Present Darkness - Chimaira

In this present darkness

I fall

Fall upon broken knees

Crawl through weight of depression

Haunted by an unborn ghost

I’ll never know your fears

Never see me in your eyes

Curse the one that stole your name from me

This is the monster that

They create

Scratch through the underside

The underside of this darkness

From seconds of your conception

Minutes leading your death

Sentence will shackle me

And turn eyes red

I will constantly endure

The pain of its creation

How can I lie awake?

Grace

At night I lie awake

How can I lie awake?

My love will stay dead

In this present darkness

I fall
