In Aeturnum

Tearstained are the halls of my empty soul
Melancholia's haunting call is
the only one I have known
Innocence has lead me into this void
While years eroded a youth I never enjoyed
Through childhood I slept unsheltered from the scorn
Now I've awakened with age to love ever lorn
Forever and ever I'll search for the solace
Which can only be found in an embrace
In throes of desolation I prayed unto divinity
I endured the emptiness and frigid pain
but even god had forsaken me
I prayed to find a solace for my heart bereaved
Only to be forgotten by the god I once believed
Now I serve this punishment
under the ice condemned
For my loss of faith to hell I was damned
Downfallen in inequity, desolate I'll be
My sombre stare traverses sephulchres lonely
Eternally, my limbs sealed in place
Livid, and dead I bow my face
The only shelter from the cold
Of the ninth circle of hell
To see what awaits in forever
A lifeless gaze, my final endeavour
I looked through the blackened skies
And beheld the radiance of paradise
My eyes have frozen in false sanctity
Eternally bound, my tears have turned to ice
