Perdition

I can't recall a time when sanity
Wrapped her arms around my soul
This mask of flesh cannot conceal
The fear that makes my blood run cold
I lie awake at night and watch my shattered dreams
Cascade hopelessly away
A daily souvenier of all the things
That fill this life with sorrow and dismay

Perdition (x 4)

How long can this go on
The vultures feast on what remains
Of my pathetic shell
Welcome to my perdition!
My private hole deep in the empty pits of hell
My sins have all returned
They hearken me to the shadows
From whence they came
The time has come for me
To face the cold embrace of all my shame

Perdition (x 4)
