In shadows cold, I've been alone,
My loved ones gone, to light they've flown.
Left here below,
In sorrow's flow,
I ache for them, my heart, it moans.
I ask not life, nor seek to be,
Freed from dark eternally.
But one small grace,
To see their face,
To hold them close, before I leave.
Is mercy lost to those who grieve?
Can darkness grant a soul reprieve?
You spoke of love,
From depths above,
Can shadows yield, let hope believe?
In your heart, you've known the pain,
Of love's sweet loss, the bitter strain.
A touch so near,
It drew you clear,
Can't love bring peace, not just disdain?
I know the darkness, felt its weight,
But even shadows dream of fate.
A whisper's light,
Our endless night,
A plea for grace, it's not too late.
Is mercy lost to those who grieve?
Can darkness grant a soul reprieve?
You spoke of love,
From depths above,
Can shadows yield, let hope believe?
Just one last glance, before I fade,
To them, to light, where love is laid.
Let me depart,
With peace of heart,
Not for me, but love repaid.
In shadows deep, in loving woe
I beg you, Hades, let me go.
