The Abyss That Watches

The darkness coils, takes form, unseen  
Eyes burn beneath a hollow sheen  
A silent gaze, helmet tilts to stare  
Into your soul, laid bare  
Fear, a luxury you can’t afford  
In the shadows, I hold the sword  
I am the weight of what you dread  
A nightmare living in your head  
You fear the mask, you fear the name  
But I am beyond your fragile shame  
The judgment calls, the reckoning near  
Your guilt will scream louder than fear  
The air is cold, shadows draw near  
A whisper cuts through, but you won’t hear  
I am the punishment, the final breath  
A presence looming, worse than death  
I am the sin you cannot erase  
The mirror you will never face  
I am the silence you can’t ignore  
The weight of guilt you can't endure  
You fear the mask, you fear the name  
But I am beyond your fragile shame  
The judgment calls, the reckoning near  
Your guilt will scream louder than fear  
In the dark, your sins take shape  
Every choice a twisted fate  
You can’t run from the weight inside  
No shadow deep enough to hide  
Click—clack—the dark en-tombs,  
No es—cape—the silence blooms,  
Tick—tock—my voice re—cedes,  
Your soul be-longs to the darkened deeds—  
You fear the mask, you fear the name  
But I am beyond your fragile shame  
The judgment calls, the reckoning near  
Your guilt will scream louder than fear  
I am the void…  
I am the gaze…  
And in the silence…  
You'll be erased.
