Shackled Depths
Down deep in the depths of despair
Where demons run and nightmares thrive
Thats where I live, not that I care
With chains keeping me here, one on each side
Theres a little ray of sunshine that shineswhere I'm kept
It's that little flicker that gets me through each day
But morning turns to evening with every sunset
And that is when darkness creeps in to play.
My mind torments me through the night
Unspoken terrors cackle at my distress
The demons try to infultrate the world of light
Yet I'd rather die than let them through, this i will confess
Darkest fears flash before my eyes
The lines between illusion and reality fade
Manacles fall and freedom before me lies
A shake of the head rids the fantasy I've made
Others try to help me, I smile sadly at their effort
But there is only one person who this burden is for
These iron caskets shackle me in this demon filled court
Freely I make this choice, the world saved forevermore
