"On Knees"

And the black sets in; all pressure, all around
Hope, cloaked
Vision, blind
A perfect enemy amidst a perfect fog
Ah, yes, it is the black and it's all set in now
Feelings, mute
Bitter, taste
The cud of life rejoicing
The prince of this world doing a pretty little dance
And the black sets in; crushing my bones from every angle
Dreams, nightmares
Nights, neverending
And so it goes that the black sets in
At the end, near the middle, or just the beginning
Black, here
On, knees
