Fatal Frame - Sojourner

The lingering scent of a dying dream

Fulfillment of damnation from aeons past

The promise once broken to be kept encaged in a prison of lies

Unjustly until we meet our demise

This crimson scar will never bloom

A bloodstained tear takes the plunge from your face

Madness seeps from your mind as you slash through this realm

Despair, hatred and sadness corrode your reason

The mourning dawn shall remain out of sight

The pain refuses to subside

All those years lonely because I failed you

Never again!

The caress of the dark and the daggers that wound

Faithful to none but the endless void beneath

Piece by piece, our souls break down into shards of glass

Do not forget me and as the roots take hold, don’t let go!

It constricts and chokes the life from our bodies

The malice lurking in every crevice

Cracking the foundation of this plane

To continue as a hollow shell

Begging to be broken and released from this torment

Yet, the time is upon us

To fulfill our destiny

I feel your veins pulsate as I clench

And as the whimper of your fading life escapes your lips

The horror evokes an anguished bellow from the depths of my soul

Forgive me

The rays begin to shine through the ebony clouds

Bittersweet, as it warms my pain

I begin to howl

I reach out to your translucent silhouette and you flutter away

We exist within the very fabric of reality only as one
