I sit and watch and I wait
For it to stop before it's too late
It's back and seems it's here to stay
No matter what I do it won't go away
It draws me down into that dark hole
It's my life and dreams that it stole
Pervasive darkness is all around
Not a spark of light to be found
The chill black that of the grave
Me no one will never, ever save
The hole is so deep I can't climb out
And no one can hear me when I shout
There is no bottom and so I free fall
The walls echoing with my sharp call
Help me please is my pointed plea
It tears the heart right out of me
There's no one to hear, no one to listen
As hot, burning tears on my cheeks glisten
It's light at last from the fires of hell
A welcome sight though my soul I will sell
A welcome reprieve is hell's searing heat
It seers my soul and stops my heart beat
And when my heart stops it's beating at last
I will have found peace, surcease at the last
