The Black Pen

The world loves to consume
The world that eats away
At the souls of the youth
And the old
You cannot protect yourself
There is no way to hold against it
Not in this time 
Or the next
That black pen that signs away
The shadow of a soul
The whisper of a fallen life
The tears of those who have left
The black pen that writes away
That helps the world consume
The shadow of a soul
The souls of the youth
And the old
O’ how hard they try!
To protect themselves from this world!
The black pen that damn them
The pen haunts them
O’ how the world throws them down
How they succumb to that fate
Accept the world
Let it consume them
Throw them into hell
Do not fight it
Accept hell and fire
The pen that signs your name
That black pen
That signs away the shadow
Of a soul
The whispers of a life
The tears that fill the rivers
Of those already there
By the black pen
The world loves to consume
The world that eats away
At the souls of the youth
And the old
You cannot protect yourself
There is no way to hold against it
Not in this time 
Or the next
That black pen 
That signs away
