Descent into the Wood

Tear off the crown And watch it drop down Teeth clenching hard Fists turning white Blood running hot And my thoughts are burning bright Faltering hand Weakening step Confidence fades And what else have I left Ideals dispersed Reason gives way Wisdom blanks And knowledge loses its taste Heart writhing up Empathy gone Feeling goes dark And song abandons my tongue Stumbling down the slope beneath Grasping at every branch and tree Darkness looms, I cannot see Whatever waits in front of me Slowly does the steepness quell But quickly does the rushing swell Water's voice before me tells A river runneth through this hell I fall to my knees, groveling in mud Anger bursting free, my hatred erupting up Break the shackles of man and see How far he gets on his own spirit Until he finally collapses in A pool of his own blood and tears And collect all the sorrow and anger And bottle it up and store it forever Until the event horizon is reached Over and over and over and over and Break the shackles of man and see How far he gets on his own spirit Until he finally collapses in A pool of his own blood and tears And collect all the sorrow and anger And bottle it up and store it forever Until the event horizon is reached Unleash it all and dismantle the whole fucking world The whole goddamn world The whole fucking world
