Misguided

Overcame with desire As the sirens serenade The cold flame of a fire As I’m beckoned to the shade A beacon calling to me As I’m guided to the docks But the darkness comes to fool me Damned, I crash against the rocks I move with no control As the devil leads the dance He charms away my soul Like a snake snared in a trance Hypnotised by those evil eyes A promise of all I crave But it’s a lie, the only prize Is an eternity as his slave A claim to buried treasure A map to all my dreams A temptation of what I pleasure But all is not what it seems My destiny rests on a road that’s tainted I travel the wrong path my fate foretells Covered with blood the sign was painted Underneath read ‘Welcome To Hell’
