Dungeon of the Lord of Lies
There's an angry, confused and sad man - I see it in his eyes
Putting up a synthetic smile and front - his primary disguise
He's choking and suffering in his pointless mundane life
So the anger, rage, and hatred course thru his veins - he cuts himself w/ a knife
He tries to hang himself - killing what he believes is a reincarnated life
Yet yearning and craving the normalcy of children and a wife
His backwards "love" he attempts to display
Will never fix what's still wrong with us today and yesterday
He doesn't comprehend what healthy love entails today
Instead he's stuck in our distant past of yesterdays
A working companionship consists of a tight-knit positivity of a team
But for us ever attempting to work again - it's just become a pipe dream
The self-centered selfishness of violent and unpredictable hate
From me every ounce of my energy it will take
Seldom do we follow what both you and I know we need to do
But it confuses this process when I'm truly me and you're not truly you
It will never be balanced 'cause you've always gotta win
While I'm left trapped in your itty-bitty corner - alone by myself I'll defend
Like an idealistic symbol of a Luciferian Templar Knight
I become lost within your hypnotizing infinite blight
Dizzying and dirtying my robotic mind
You've become the junior of the serial killer - 'cause you'll torture, kill, and bind
Like an Old God with a soul who's lost the entirety of his shine
Turning over and churning the possibilities in your mentally sick mind
Overnighting in a haunted cemetery - coated with your gas-like bliss
But lost in your madness of a world - succumbed to your poisonous kiss
Tumbling down into your rabbit hole of your echoing and murderous pit of Hell
Where all you jaded and twisted angels landed and ultimately fell
Oh but you?! You're different! You're the King of 'em all
Exhausted and desperately - I concoct and build my bulletproof wall
I watch in utter horror as you jackhammer all of them down
I'm waking dazed and confused in your Hell's Pit - trapped w/ you underground
