Dungeons of a Conscience

Here lies the only opening to hell
A lovely rapture
For any person hoping to live and tell
When even the lord himself 
Turns his shoulder and looks away
The curse of man 
To never again see  a passing day
The world is only a reflection of your doom
In our weary eyes, failure looms
Here lies the only opening to hell
A lovely rapture 
For any person hoping to live and tell
Floating naked devils 
The obstacles I  come to find upon my return
Currently digging my way to a forsaken level 
Reflecting on past transgressions 
It’s become a field of flawed confessions
I remember  a child 
Whom once looked to captivate the world
Fallen short he realized he was but a colorful mutt
Finding comfort in a reality that all doors were shut
Here lies the only opening to hell
A lovely rapture
For any person hoping to live and tell
