My Dark Night

My Dark Night


My heart sinks. Oh dark night!
You have come to scare me
In this lonely path...

I fall short in each step
How mistaken was I to walk
In this silent night...

I agonize with each beat of my heart
Each breath I take
Brings pain to today...

Where has your magnificent smile gone?
I remembered the sun
That brought me warmth and light...

But that is now a memory!
This night won't pass
Here I am, falling again...

Cold and lonely
Deceived in the shadows
That hide your truth at this dark hour...

Take my life!
End this misery!
I lament in each second that passes by...

Have pity on me...
A sinner!
Send the moon and the stars
To keep me company
In this desolate night!
