No Way Out

I am at ruin

Always lead nowhere

When I cross the next day's threshold

There's nothing

There's only a fear of day and night

An indifferent time everything so strange

The centre of dullness evasts end

Mazes of existence covered by moss

Cold walls side by side

I feel dead icy coolness

Cobwebs hanging in darkness

If there's no way out

I fly into a whirl of unknown madness

Swollen with a fright in slow dying

We run away to a silence that is a shout

To a light that is darkness

Shadows broken on an edge of light

Forgotten shapes deprived colours

If there is no way out

The shadow falls on a horizon of hope

And there is nothing else

Through the loneliness to sorrow

Through the sorrow to despair
