Doomed To Lust
Inching forward toward the pit of doom
I see the abyss which is ominous; full of doom
Following behind me; the spirit of lust
I try to avoid for I do not trust
How do I steer away; avoid the eternal fall
I am now on my hands and knees forcing my body to crawl
Trapped inside my heart is a will of hate for mankind
All these sick people are so hopeless and blind
One by one we fall in a hole
This abyss has taken billions for a pricey toll
Sell your soul for a seductive dream
Then wake up just to hear yourself scream
Look deep down in the endless pit
Just to realize the bottom is fire and lit
The succubus has stolen my life
This devious demon has sucked me dry from strife
My bitter loneliness comes from her
I couldn't help but to let this event occur
Crawling to the edge I turn around once more
Just to get one last glimpse of what I used to adore
Tossed to the ground I can only lay there with no hope
Eternal damnation and hell fire as I mope
I have been scarred and withered away
Down the pit I go for my life to decay
