Until Only Silence Remains

It remains true... "These are times that try men's souls."
What is our fate? Why do we always feel so lost?
We have no choice, it surely seems.
We scream and we scream,
Until only Silence remains.

What is the meaning of it all?
Are we foolish to fear the answer?
I think not, for we feel the unknown.
We cry and we cry,
Until only Silence remains.

The common theme, is that we always fear it.
But why do we always have to fear the unknown?
We really want to understand it all, do we not?
We ask and we ask,
Until only Silence remains.

I embrace the Dark, and lose all ability to feel mercy...
These lifeless corpses, scattered about me.
I can't believe I did this... All these innocent lives, cut so short.
I run and I run,
Until the Silence consumes me...

Until it is all that remains.
