all of my sins
they still haunt me
can’t escape them
above - the light shines
below - the waves crash
beyond - the madness looms
the keys - he does hold
the door - he goes guard
the truth - is through the door
darkness creeping
Cryptic Visions
whisper to me
looming madness
in the distance
can’t escape it
above - secrets live
below - ocean calls
toward - the madness creeps
my guilt - rushes back
my mind - starts to crack
madness - knocks at my door
what does he feel
what does he know
when he casts his gaze
upon the light
what will I feel
what will I know
when I finally gaze
upon the light
reality
slowly slipping
lucid nightmares
madness creeping
into my mind
can’t escape it
above - is the truth
below - siren’s scream
within - this madness reigns
his life - I must take
the key - I will hold
the end - Unlock the door
what does he feel
what does he know
when he casts his gaze
upon the light
what will I feel
what will I know
when I finally gaze
upon the light
he can’t keep it hidden
it holds my salvation
if it’s all that I can muster
let it be my final action
to see the light
to learn the truth
succumb to his curse
behold, I descend to
enter Madness
enter Madness
what did he feel
what did he know
when he cast his gaze
upon the light
i finally feel
i finally know
as I cast my gaze
upon the light
