Dark
Absent of the face that is so familiar
Unfavorable for my wicked ways
My body which tortures my spirit
And was turned into a living corpse
Bow before the judge
The difficult road of trials
Many years elapsed while I sleep
Trying to put the conceited one to death
When that one is self
And self is me
No longer to be found
Sacrifice my own dignity
Trying to clarify the situation
Abandon by hope
Now what is my dream
Can you yield my judgment
And pull me out of the dark abyss
Where are you going
