The Pursuer

The pursuer be up on me

Lurking where the eye cannot see

His hellhounds have sought me out

To no one may I shout

For this destroyer out for me

Is one that no one can see

He follows wherever I may go

To slay me, his only foe

At night, in the wake of my despair

He emerges with his cold, solemn stare

Intending for this night to be my last

My life forever to be my past

The pursuer will drag me to hell

Upon the sea of the damned, I'll forever sail

I cannot escape this pursuer, you see

For the pursuer is none other than me

I am a vagabond in a world of the loved

A foreigner to your world above

A devil, wandering in a holy land

Crushed by time's unmerciful hand

I am the dark in a world of light

Everyday, hidden in plain sight

A skeptic in a world of faith

In a land of the living, I am a wraith

Though you aspire to a higher place

I but long for Death's cold embrace
