Story behind the song

Those dark hours where suicide seems like a welcome option. But what happens beyond that? Suffer as your soul burns in torment.

Lyrics

Darkness lingers now
And I wonder
What is in this world
Left for me?
As the shadows start
Moving in now
It seems that I am
Destined to be
Alone in the dark

All my memories
Start to taunt me
Showing me the things
I have been
And all I seek now
Is retribution
From all the evil
That I have seen
Alone in the dark

Folding back the veils of my nightmares
The gun in my mouth feels like a cure
I pull the trigger with zeal unrivalled
To heal my sins and make me feel pure

But what is this? I still feel, I am
I exist in the shadows of the night
I have become one with them, eternal
Forever tormented soul with no light

Ever repeating pain of my crimes
Living them over and over again
The repetition of Hell is no myth
My soul is tortured, enveloped in pain

Darkness lingers now
And I wonder
What is in this world
Left for me?
As the shadows start
Moving in now
It seems that I am
Destined to be
Alone in the dark
