Dark Abyss
December 19, 2008
Tonight on this dark and misty winter night,
That seems beautiful to all but me
Lurks a danger that only I can see
Below these steps waits a dark abyss
Like a trap
Stronger than steel
Seeming more beautiful than the rising sun
Waiting to catch the unsuspecting
In it’s deadly snare
It can do no physical harm
And yet many would prefer death than this
For your soul cannot get away
If you have been caught
It is the lure of the most evil
The one who will take so many with him
To the burning lake
