Beyond

what lies beneath the soul
a mystery, untamed
but tenderly leaping up
terrorizing souls

these are lost souls
hunting for hidden meanings
searching for dark reasons

they sink deeper into the shadows
into misery, into death
into hell... deep down
in their own world of black

you can't reach them
yet they seem too near to you
you're scared of them
but yet they are scared of you

like shadows they glide around
their feet don't touch the floor
they haunt people
but at the same time they scare themselves

they can look beyond their mind's eye
they look into their own dark reflection
then into the black night beyond their black face

they understand what it's like to die
they've experienced death
not a physical death
but their soul is dead
gone with the ruthless wind

they can wander aimlessly
wander in circles
and drift eerily into their own misty world
they always get lost

they've never seen light before
but the people with light from their hearts
they run away from
they can't take the brightness

and yes, a million things can be said about
these shadow souls, lost souls
a million more reasons
but these reasons remain untold
