One life to make your own. One word to tear it down.
One look to bring the anguish, break your castles to the ground.
All that you’ve ever known. All that was ever shown.
All truths have been extinguished, pulled into the depths profound.
Ascertain a mind profane, disentangled, gone insane.
Reassured, when secure within this fortress, safe from judgment.
Unabridged sacrilege, the certitude that you allege.
Ever pure none endure, if nothing in these walls can touch them.
One flame that ever glows. One light, the shadows grow.
One day they will consume you. Darkness strikes without a sound.
All for the final blow to what you have bestowed, upon the world you made.
Into the gates of madness bound.
Ascertain a mind profane, disentangled, gone insane.
Reassured, when secure within this fortress, safe from judgment.
Unabridged sacrilege, certitude that you allege.
Ever pure, none endure, if nothing in these walls can touch them.
In a glimmer of doubt they’re showing, the beginnings of your own decline.
All the cracks that are made by sadness in the gates you hide behind.
But you’ll never be safe from madness, in your kingdom of false design.
Every shadow will light the blackness of the reason you deny.
Tear down the gates. Let in the light. Leave from this state, and clear your mind.
Inside these halls you’ll never find... all that you crave is left behind.
Outside the gates you hide behind, life rejected, cast aside.
