I feel that if I close my eyes forever
The darkness will become only a fear
I had once upon a time whenever
In a foreign land far away from here
Oh good mercy plagued by my sweet madness
The insanity my body's coping
Like a shiver to warm the grim sadness
Misguided survival for the hoping
In my day I have made dreadful choices
In my haste to mask the painfully real
Sold my eyes, my mind, my freedom, my voice
All to make the devil's business deal
I found no flames in death, but with great fright!
My hell was never seeing heaven's light!
