Drag me to hell and let me crackle in the fire
Crawling around alone in the dark
trying to find a flicker of light
It feels like all hope has been and gone
I have forgotten what's wrong or right
I've been kicked in the gut and kicked to the kerb
yet somehow I'm still holding tight
Not sure what grounds me to this place called earth anymore
perhaps I should give up the fight
Somehow I get to my feet and take small childlike steps
Starting to feel like I'm getting somewhere
I see a glimmer of light
I move closer toward it to get a better look
it's arousing, alluring, glowing bright
I want it
I crave it
I need to look to the light
So I get closer
and closer
and closer
until I am feeling warm
I am happy
It is everything I desire
but suddenly I am surrounded by flames Burning,
choking and fighting to breathe for air
I didn't want this kind of light
I didn't want this kind of life
'But this is your desire' I hear cackle
I have been dragged to hell
smell my burning flesh and
hear the fire crackle...
