the darkness circles ever closer still
the darkness circles ever closer still
the starlight twinkles, dims and fades to black
if only death could be vanquished by will
it cannot be and so we drink our fill
to numb our brains and hearts till mouths fall slack
the darkness circles ever closer still
the warmth of firewater leaves a chill
a wandering soul way off the beaten track
if only death could be vanquished by will
though hope be strong time cannot help but kill
like bodies ripped and torn upon a rack
the darkness circles ever closer still
like Jack and Jill we’re falling down a hill
in empty space till flat upon our back
if only death could be vanquished by will
and yet, perverse, we feast upon Grim’s thrill
we curse and spit and step upon the crack
the darkness circles ever closer still
if only death could be vanquished by will
