With darkened soul
�� leaded feet ascend
���� cold marble slabs
������ Just a little farther...
�������� comes the whispered call
Tired lungs and clouded eyes
�� exit past plush red velvet ropes
���� come closer, come closer still...
������� comes the whispered call
Sweat slick hands grasp
black varnished rail
Look down, look long...
comes the whispered call
Muscles strain and tighten
heels raise above the floor
Relax... Let go...
comes the whispered call
The heart spills pain
thoughts of family cling
Sleep...Sleep now
went the whispered call.
Nightsman
