Darkness is his all. He thinks it was different once, back when he still had a name. That was before; another time and place.
There's something important, someone he left behind. He can still feel it sometimes, this truth. He holds it close as he sits, listening to the screams that fill the air around him like a shroud.
Some small, guttering part of his being knows that if he ever gives up, if he ever loses this last part of himself that he'll be truly lost. So he waits, silent in the dark, holding onto his treasured word - Sam.
Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep
Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning, For the things I cannot see
Keep my mind from constant turning, To the things I cannot be
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, cover me with the endless night
Take away the pain of knowing, fill the emptiness with light
Emptiness with light now
Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome, Is the day that brings me here
I have felt the edge of sadness, I have known the depths of fear
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, Cover me with the endless night
Take away this pain of knowing, Fill this emptiness with light now
Emptiness with light now
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, cover me with the endless night
Take away this pain of knowing, fill this emptiness with light now
Oh with light now.
Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep
