If You Give in to Temptation

A nightmare unfolds its wings,
The ashes of an old oak float down.
A darkness so crippling surrounds you;
A light at the end of a tunnel illuminates
The things that await your coming.
A fear so intense settles in the pit of your stomach.
The wings approach you and spread outward;
You try to breathe, but are suffocated by your fear.
The nightmare devours all that is around you;
There's nothing left of what you knew.
This age comes to an end,
The darkness thickens around you,
Your heart and your mind race
To make sense of the coming time.
You think to yourself that it is not possible.
The light at the end of the tunnel goes out,
And you're left drowning in darkness.
