Hell Bound
Hell Bound
As you stumble down this trail of thorns
The silence like a whisper warns
No soul can walk this twisted trail
And yet you still refuse to bail
What draws you towards this painful path
What let's you face this woeful wrath
When others would have turned away
What is it that tells you to stay
You walk beyond established routes
And cast aside your building doubts
To not give in to peaceful sleep
Forget your life and venture deep
But in these depths is the unknown
While fear creeps slow into your bone
How do you force that beast away
And push yourself along your way
What holds your gaze when you're alone
When night strips light and none is shown
What fuels the courage in your heart
When all your hope gets ripped apart
Will you weep of loves divorce
Or is it greed that set your course
Does vengeance have a part to play
What is it that brings you my way
