I Know the Darkness Too Well
I felt my way along the cold brick walls
In the threatening eternal darkness
In the kingdom where so-called "sinners" fall
Into endless suffering and madness.
I feel a frigid, freezing breeze blowing
From where the blood seas are located
I smile, I know, soon it shall be raining
To water the blooms of pain and hatred.
Then the crimson metal bell chimes and I
Grin as I slip into my dress and mask.
Like all else, I dance, I mock, and I lie.
And when dear Devil takes my hand and asks,
"My queen, how are you never lost in hell?"
Always, I say, "I know it all too well."
