Written for a friend of mine who committed suicide almost two years ago:

For my friend "Ruin"
Written to the song "Throw me Away" by KoRn (his favorite song)
---

Into darkness
Something hidden summons me
Should I assume that someone hears me when I pray
Should I embrace
All I was? All I am...

(Chorus)
Hold me up into the light
Ah-ha!
Keep me and I'll be okay
Ruin!
No friend to show me the way
Ah-ha!
Don't let them throw me away
Ruin!
Don't let them throw me away

Slipping under
Shrouded faces watching me
Shot down, cast out
To twilit realms of emptiness
Please, take my hand
Be my guide
Back to life

(Chorus)
Bring me back into the light
Ah-ha!
Hold me and I'll be okay
Ruin!
My Shadow to show me the way
Ah-ha!
Don't let them throw me away
Ruin!
Don't let them throw me away

Paths diverging in a wood
Is the choosing any good
Pieces move across the board
To capture one not in the world
Bring them back at home to lie
Keep them in obsidian’s eye
And all that I have to say
Don't let them throw me away

(Chorus)
You brought me back to the light
Ah-ha!
Leave me and I'll be okay
Ruin!
Shadow you’ve shown me the way
Ah-ha!
We’ll be together some day
Ruin!
Don't let them throw you away

-D.O.P.R
