Depleted is my innocence

my purity is no more

happiness equals riches

that’s why I’m so poor

I’ve caused me so much evil

immersed in darkness much too far

my life’s a pitch-black night

I’m not happy I know you are

People always ignore me

they never share life’s spoils

I work hard for respect

no prize for all my toils

I’ve dug myself so deep

emotional abyss that I’m in

I’m drowning in my sorrow

I’m smothered by my sin

My soul has always suffered

my heart would find the way

but iniquity came calling

I’ve lost it all just to pay

Later on I may see

that I can’t win this fight

I could in God’s light

but not in Moloch’s night

So sad are my words

I guess I have no choice

so much pain is in my heart

expressed only by my voice

It has opened up the doors

my anima’s imagination

thoughts into facts

will someday be creation

The night has won

detriment of my being

lost forever in nothing

so much for my seeing

The way I die

hurts my aching heart

my spirit and my soul

so painfully torn apart
