A Valediction

Within our lives, through our persistency
 Beyond this journey and continuity
 I perceived decay, as an act of volition
 In vain endeavor, abandoned in despair
 A last farewell, in bright nightshade
 When we depart, so pale and fade
 Within our lives, though all perseverance
 Beyond this odyssey and pursuance
 I perceived decay, as an act of volition
 In vain endeavor, abandoned in despair
 A last goodbye, beneath the wraith
 Our vows refined in vanished faith
 We abide in pitch black mass
 Deliverance, released in distress
 We leave this world and tear apart
 We refine in profound bliss
 Redemption, the universes final kiss
 A last farewell, in bright nightshade
 When we depart, so pale and fade
 A last goodbye, beneath the wraith
 Our vows refined in vanished faith
