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
