Your face has launched a thousand ships                
Forbidden fruit dripped from your lips                
Forever cursed to be alone                  
All that you gaze will turn to stone                
Like the devil you have been sent        
To spread affliction and discontent        
                                                                       
Cast out by God a fallen star                
Vainglorious is who you are                                                            
Total rejection decided man's fate          ...

Dying forever no beginning or end
Halfway to never in the dungeon to spend
A sleepless nightmare mystifying escape
Absent of substance and distorted in shape
Echoes of madness like a wailing applause
Scared distant voices trickle out from the walls
Eerie passageways where direction is blind
Ghastly intentions enclose in from behind

Insanity beckons from a vacuous cell
Captive reclusion is the mirror of hell
Unruly puppets roam about all alone
Controlling their strings with a will of their own
Like pests they infest...

Enjoyed by some for just the thrill    
A favorite choice to make their kill    
It's counted on for more to eat    
Or tournaments where those compete    
It can be pulled with arms and feet    
Though often cranked real nice and neat    
It's used for sport and used for fun    
It's not a bow nor any gun    
There's not a kick and makes no sound    
Not any flaw that can be found    
A clear design of thrust and speed    
A trigger pull is all you need    
It's so precise should be a crime    
Hits the bulls eye...

Terrified of what is known  
With every day you die alone  
Barron color no light to find  
Swirling shadows absorb the mind  
Vast silhouettes so well defined  
Swaying spellbound scared of mankind  
   
Submerged inside the dark of light  
No thoughts elude a dreadful sight  
Your demons leer surrounding you  
Playing sick games of peek-a-boo  
Scenarios always conceive  
Such vexing fears that never leave  
   
Breathing smothered you gasp for air  
The horror spreads to everywhere  
Plagues of...

Every moment brings vivid fears    
And life is lost within the tears    
Memories cry from deep inside    
Where hopelessness and hurt reside
      
Regrets of all that should have been    
Incessantly keep crushing in    
Monsters eager to open wide    
Gnash you apart from every side    
   
You're nothing left that can be found    
And no one hears that crunching sound    
The snarling roars always appear    
Just when you think the coast is clear    
   
Terrorize and try you for size    
A...
