Shade Empire

Hanging on a cliff
Groping for something I cannot quite reach
The fall is too deep
If I let go It will take all that''s left of me
Blood colours the white
I''m mesmerised
It burns in my eyes
But if I look away I lose all that I have
My mind is turning black, it''s burning
Faces from the dark turning
Through the scorched fields I am walking
Towards the gates
Who tells the truth?
I see faces but
the words they speak are unknown to me
The crooked serpent
