The Bad Place

A very dark place, this secret, secret place 
          Where all troubles hide and fears you never face 
               An empty lonely feeling, lost in outter space
                   Where memories are forgotten and reality is erased

     A place with no warmth, it's so very, very cold
          Where the only thing to believe are the lies already told
               The Devil's Marketplace where Souls are being sold 
                   Where everything is taken so theirs nothing left to hold

     A place that's so lonely and left to be alone
          Where emptiness meets sorrow in their new unhappy home 
               A place void of life, an inescapable cell of stone 
                   Where everything you once knew has now become unknown
