Failing to Shine

Brilliant white burnt against the blue
Shadows were nothing but a lie
Careful for the pits where death promises.

Red flames lash perpetual pain
Shadows were nothing but a lie
Imprisoned with our own chains.

Soot falls to the ground as tainted snow
Darkness forever failing to shine
I can see but still am blind.

Try to move, try to cry, try to die
Darkness forever failing to shine
Removed from us to take from them.

Shadows forever nothing to a servant
Darkness was failing to shine.
