The Final Embrace Lyrics

The Final Embrace

my dreams fall to the floor, scattering like rose petals. 
 
disconcerted I watch the merciless tears settle upon the unfulfilled dreams
like shimmering dewdrops. the diamond misery sparkles up at me, as though
suggestion that I surrender myself completely. 
 
my eyes widen in disbelief and involuntarily I shake my head. fear slashes at
me with vicious claws. and I shudder in spite of myself. 
 
the sullen darkness slithers closer, striking at me with ravenous fangs. I feel
hope elude me as the last if the light recedes, and I sink to the floor, landing
among the somber remains of once-beautiful wishes. 
 
as I feel myself slipping away, realize that this is my end, and remorse rains
down on me, mingling with the sorrow that fills my heart. 
 
all is lost forever as the dead blackness enshrouds me with the final embrace.
