Songs of Power Paint It Black Oblivion

At Journey’s end
Going forward and back
the pain remains the same
Wearing the poeish color of never more
Journeying on to where my lover
is waiting on some dark shore
Absorbing all the colors never reflecting back
Why death takes one and not the other
Closing my eyes to the sun
It should be black but it is not
And if I closed my eyes forever
it would not change the pain
The lost dreams in my mind
I would rather forget me than you
But your thoughts for me
are sinking into
oblivion
