The Lost

from The Millstone by Potmos Hetoimos

lyrics

There in the darkness of my mind
I place these thoughts, that none should ever find
As blue fades to black I close my eyes
Drifting down to where there is no light
Slowly passing away,
Slowly passing…

She opened those eyes, the hazel eyes of a child
Perfect in her innocence
But it couldn’t last in the perversion of this world
How she wished to never blink again

She screamed, but I never heard
Quietly she lay in pain, corrupted by
I never understood
How evil like the waves could roll in

Crushing spirit and inundating good
In a moment there was no God left within
The darkness reached out and took hold,
And she was seized with a damning lust
One soul tarnished with the act
One soul ruined by the aftermath

She screamed, but I never heard
Quietly she lay in pain, corrupted by
I never understood
How evil like the waves could roll in
On the shores of purity
Breaking like her sanity
Drink in deep, at such a young age,
This was the end of your innocent stage
