All control is lost, Senses deprived
Deaf ears still hear the malign

The altars [bad word]  Cloak of obscurity
crown wrapped tight around your neck
Gaunt hands to hold you back

I've seen the world in a new light,
No holy shrines
Nothing to resemble eternal life

Now turning back I see,
What could have been but never was
pressure so dense,
Upon my chest it could paralyze

mask forced upon me
Impaled by fear

Waiting out 'til death's beyond me
Slipping beneath the tide

Stones drag to the riverbed below, Below
Death is here
And he's been clawing at my thoughts again
Forever drowning in perdition
Submerged in azure waters
