The World is Black and Grey

the world is black and grey

and I am fading away

things buzz around me

but it is only shadows that I see

I don't dare to speak

for I am too weak

shapes around me spin

and I have not the strength to grin

how can I see

the things before me

when life is dark

and ghosts begin their hark

there I belong

as they carry me along

into the dark we fly 

and I no longer see the sky

meaningless droans I no longer hear

as stillness grows near

and the world goes silent

as nights grow violent

and furious beasts roam

with their mouths dripping foam

blood and skin

they devour in sin

I flee the day

to collapse in dismay

and pray 

to fly away

with the ghosts of grey
