Hangman: Songs of the abyss
How sweet it would be to let go and be free, to float like a leaf cut from a tree...

I dwelled in the dungeons
I walked through the wasteland
I crawled through the madness
My hands now wet with insanity and I'm losing my grip,
slip, slip, slipping into this hungry abys
Frantic finger motions hasten my descent.
I've painted myself in the picture
I've cast myself into this scene.
Guilt lubricates my hands as my gaze slips into the ravine
Calling...
Calling out to me.
In a voice, I can't escape
A voice I call my own
that haunts me to this day.
and drug me far from home.
This voice from the darkness beneath calls for me to sleep.
when it speaks,
it speaks in tones of charred ash and broken bones,
"I know that you are tired,
and so it's time to be release...
Released from all the strain
Release from all the struggle
Release from all the pain
Release from all the trouble
Release from all
from all of this
Release your tangles fingers and join us in the abys..."
The voice fades into shadows
and as tempting as it is...
to let go of all my pain and leap into the abyss.
But no...
"Not today" is my reply to the abyss
I turn my eyes to the sky
then tighten up my grip,
shed a few more tears,
and then...
begin for my accent!
