A Valediction

Within our lives, through persistency
Beyond this journey, and continuity
I perceived decay, as an act of volition
In vain endeavor, abandoned in despair

A last farewell, in bright nightshade
When we depart, so pale and fade

Within our lives, though all perseverance
Beyond this odyssey, and pursuance
I perceived decay, as an act of volition
In vain endeavor, abandoned in despair

A last goodbye, beneath the wraith
Our vows refined in vanished faith
We abide in pitch black mass
Deliverance, released in distress

We leave this world and tear apart
We refine in profound bliss
Redemption, the universes final kiss

A last farewell, in bright nightshade
When we depart, so pale and fade
A last goodbye, beneath the wraith
Our vows refined in vanished faith
