The pounding rain upon the pane diffracts the halide glow

Sending splinters of light left and right creating an eerie show

Tortured shadows cast by the bars that stand behind the pane

Throw shapes from hell, across my cell and it’s screaming in my brain

I close my eyes to think of you, and put this hell aside

I try in vain, but the roaring rain won’t have this night denied

Goosebumps crawl across my flesh, and a thousand thoughts explode

I think of all the lies I’ve heard, and all the lies I’ve told

The notion that lies, above the truth, prevents a heart from bleeding

Destroys your worth and begins the birth, of a life built on deceiving

I see her face, her angelic face, but it is filled with so much sorrow

I’ll drink her tears, and allay her fears when she calls me up tomorrow

Alone I’m doomed so utterly consumed, I need her by my side

The rain is subsiding and I am sliding into a dream of an angelic bride

Peace at last, God let it last, and command this night be denied
