Scathing Black

Shadows shift in the corner of my eye
I turn to focus but but they move from my sight
They lay in wait under darkness of night
To pursue in the absence of transient light

Scathing black figures of treachery
At one with the shadows as they stalk me
They storm from the darkness to reclaim my soul
Cornered here I am by the lifeless nazgul

Unearthly figure stares back at me
So blinded by it's hatred yet somehow I see
The formless life within the blackened robes
Screams my self immolated disembodied soul

Blackened poltergeist of treachery
Blackened poltergeist of misery
Blackened poltergeist that's yet to be
Follow the darkness into the endless abyss

Scratching my hands against the wall
Disbelief of the truth I can't ignore
Is this a dream? It's so surreal
The veracity of my existence is now revealed

Blackened poltergeist of misery
Blackened poltergeist of treachery
Blackened poltergeist that's come to be
Follow the darkness into infinity
