I saw the gallows and I walked
Put my head inside the lion’s jaws
I put the sickness in my heart
And I laughed as it ate me alive
With my blood a pact was signed
And the world burned all around me
But it was safe here in this womb
From the darkness I carry with me
My organs decompose
My eyes roll over white
My consciousness compromised
Days to weeks to years
Pass fleeting, ephemeral
My agony enthroned
Inside the veil of fog
A voiceless passengеr
Forced to play voyeur
To watch the train dеrail
And the darkness rise
To consume my battered soul
Put my head inside the lion’s jaws
I put the sickness in my heart
And I laughed as it ate me alive
With my blood a pact was signed
And the world burned all around me
But it was safe here in this womb
From the darkness I carry with me
My organs decompose
My eyes roll over white
My consciousness compromised
Days to weeks to years
Pass fleeting, ephemeral
My agony enthroned
Inside the veil of fog
A voiceless passengеr
Forced to play voyeur
To watch the train dеrail
And the darkness rise
To consume my battered soul
