Dawn of the Monolith

Shadow leads to darkness
Wickedness to grief
Water finds a way in
Saturates the weak
Do we subsist hiding from
The essence of the thief?
Trembling under cover
We leave the past to sleep

Poison from a viper
Doesn't need deceit
Searching for a target
The tenderness of meat
Drift beyond the treeline
Waiting just behind
Watching from the willows
Enemies you'll find

Shadow leads to darkness
Wickedness to grief
Water finds a way in
Saturates the weak
Quietus upon you
Night consumes the day
Begging for forgiveness
On your knees you'll pray
