Memento Mori

In a dark corner a unsettling evil drifts
Into the open-air of the womb that consumed
All light that was visible at the time
The boards are creaking miserably with a violent melody
I unravel the fabric laid around my body
With one spring of a movement I was vertical again
For death itself cannot steal the light no more
When I checked the floor was not cracking
For has my mind faded into insanity

So I laid my body's back into the fabric hopelessness
When the hunting cracking started again
Getting closer to my bedroom door
Turned too a haze this incubus must have came
For I've must be lost in this plagued of a nightmare
At this moment the pungent smell of death
Slowly gripping my throat lodging the air from coming out
I wish this was a dream but death has came for the light
Should I solemnly embrace the death that's claimed me
Or fight this endless horror of a night?
