Now and Forever - Henrik B, Christian Alvestam

Vain hope

Darkens every sense

Eclipse

Wielding the shadow inside

Forced to be at one with

The going down of the sun

In a dream

Bring into being the truth

Make-believe humanity

A mind behind closed doors

Wielding the shadow

Whatever came to pass now gone

Never again to see the light

This is the end of all we thought

Would last forever and ever

Yet with the stains now all withdrawn

Into the blind forgiving night

The memories of what is yet to

Be no more there forever

Wielding the shadow

Going through changes to escape

A world — mirroring only defeat

Torn between realities

A life so very empty

In a daze

Slowly beginning the long

Journey back to sanity

The fight against the self
