Heart of Darkness by Antane I have the power of light and dark and have used both I’ve been touched by the black heart of everlasting night And saved by he who has always been my light I’ve been in torment enough to want to die And healed enough to want to live My friend, my brother felt the pull of the black, but resisted He saw the promise as fantasy from the beginning He has been ever strong But I had already been pulled into that black pool to the point of drowning It came to control me The night became my day The black entered my soul The dawn did not come to banish to shadows I had sent it away I remember feeling trapped, the darkness pressing in on all sides I remember struggling to breathe, but the black suffocated me No escape, no way out Slipping, sliding, I fell I became a stranger, a demon, the enemy I was to be the light that would destroy Sauron’s darkness The darkness fears the light It boasts of its strength, but it cowers and flees from the bright It trusts no one It is isolated and alone, having only its own dark emotions, its own hatreds and rages to feed upon and like anything that feeds upon itself, it is consumed But what light was left in me? I have not ceased to fight since the first, but who was there to save me? Who was left who I hadn’t tried to destroy? I had already tried to kill my best friend, my brother And the one I said I wanted to save That’s what haunts my nights And leaves me screaming in terror That I could have hurt, that I could have killed my friend, the light to my darkness That I did hurt him many times My soul will carry the scars of those betrayals, the light itself, all my life But I will also always carry my brother's love When we stood together in the heart of darkness and the power overwhelmed me, he remained firm He pulled me out from it all He trusted me, believed in me, broke into my prison He held out his hand, his love, his life He risked everything to save me He wouldn’t allow me to be lost I could have held the world in my hands, but instead of that false promise, I reached for the reality of his hand |
