It is Dark in Here

It is dark in here, no light, no air,
A love once pure, now lost to greed,
His heart consumed by cruel despair.

She gave her trust, unaware,
Of the lies behind each planted seed.
It is dark in here, no light, no air.

His charm was rich, beyond compare,
But hidden deep, a darker need—
His heart consumed by cruel despair.

Women used, discarded without care,
Their souls left broken, never freed.
It is dark in here, no light, no air.

Till one night, found in sinful snare,
Beaten to death, for lust and deed,
His heart consumed by cruel despair.

In hell, he cries, trapped in his lair,
Regret too late, his sins agreed.
It is dark in here, no light, no air,
His heart consumed by cruel despair.
