no hope for the holder (no light for the pen)

so blot out the sun
yes, take it from sight
for all that I’ve done
doesn’t deserve light
give it to shadows
cast out through the night
engaged in battles
that are not their fight

no hope for the holder
no light for the pen
just days getting colder
in sync with the sin

yes, blot out the sun
and steal it from view
for what I’ve become
the dark is its due
given to shadows
before I was cast
rooted in battles
from another’s past

no hope for the holder
no light for the pen
just days getting colder
in sync with the sin

so blot out the sun
yes, take it from sight
with all I have done
I shan’t have the light
give it to shadows
more suited than I
who won their battles
on strength of their cry

no hope for the holder
no light for the pen
just days getting colder
in sync with the sin

yes, blot out the sun
and steal it from view
have seen what’s to come
know what I have due
given to shadows
no means of escape
broken by battles
that I came to late

no hope for the holder
no light for the pen
just days getting colder
in sync with the sin

so blot out the sun
yes, take it from sight
for all that I’ve done
doesn’t deserve light
