Forever Nothing

by Chris Sheffler - Aries

Into the harvest moon of night,
my soul wanders for something that was never to be known,
and though morning's light shines dimly in the distance,
I am still nothing,
nothing,
for I am alone...

Through the clouds of disbelief,
my eyes have grown weary along this wayward journey of nothingness,
and though the nightingale sings with a voice of a thousand crystal bells,
I am still nothing,
nothing,
this I must confess...

Beyond the stars upon the velvet sky,
I know no longer that which I desired before this moonless eve,
and as my soul cries out to the shadows of the night,
I am still nothing,
nothing,
all that I believe...

Against the flow of repeating time,
I've seen the wisdomn that I was never to truly find,
and forever and a day shall these questions burden the frailty of my heart,
I am still nothing,
nothing,
life is so unkind...

One this voyage of a thousand lives,
things became clearer my blinded eyes and bloodstained hands,
and this day shall mean nothing more in the book of life,
for I am still nothing,
nothing,
let if be known amongst the lands...
