Drown

from Vessel by The Worlders

lyrics

The lights glare dims
For the nightmares to begin
Chained to the beast inside the skin
Kept caged by the skeleton
The sacred vessel
Disgraced to a temple of devils
Molded into a monster
With the conscience conquered
To wear their cursed crown
As the bearer of power drowns
In their spiraling sanity
From being stripped of humanity
Sinking in the quicksand
Of what is now a loveless land
Gouging out their eyes
While being buried alive
Spared the gruesome scene
Of things you wouldn’t want to believe
For there is no escape
From the grip of the grave
As worse horrors await
At the closing of death’s gate
To imagine the blinding sight
Would madden the mind
Becoming far too late
To save the life that lost it’s way
Who sold their soul for gold
As all that was fought for was in vain
The price that is paid
No wealth is worth what’s thrown away
Coming to know the bane
Of the spirit soaked in shame
Terror fills your eyes
With no end near in sight
Only getting so far
Before things fall apart
Chased by the face of fear
To no place for tears
Afraid of the truth
As it comes back to haunt you
The truth will haunt you
The truth will haunt you
