Everything at stake

Life or fame

Lie and win

Or die with honor

With only two paths

Both undesired

I made my own

Deviating from the path with a smirk on my face

Only to realize

I've been lead astray

Cold and dark

The bright scene begins to expire

All I see is the black

I endure the thorns I am walking through

With high hopes of desire

But with my sight blinded

And my strife wounded

I soon fall

Into freezing liquid

That I can only hope was water

Enveloped by the devils from the lake

My life is at stake

Drowning. Drowning.

The light, browning

Lungs collapsing

My life elapsing

Every regret

Every wrong decision

Being remembered in agony

Then in vain

Death takes me swiftly
