deep within the damp walls of darkness
and putrid souls engraved with emptiness
resides a frail shred life rife with hope
patiently awaiting to evolve
to emerge from long years fueled by terror
helpless, worthless, numb, eaten by anger
hate
all this decay in the heart
break
every unbroken chain apart
you can hang me upside down
turn my rotten inside out
burn the flesh, tear the bones
throw at me my graveyard stones
you will fuckin make me stronger
even when I am here no longer
feed my demons with your hate
I'm your puppet to degrade
humiliate all you want
make me bleed, make me gaunt
I won't fight your bloody war
there's nothing I much more abhor
the clock's ticking echoes drowned
don't you dare make a sound
you're up next mute astound
put your feet back on the ground
play
play the game
there's no law
and there's no shame
have I gone now all insane
stop the torture, stop the pain
the flashing lights were too bright
the reek of death they couldn't hide
I have staggered, tried to breathe
felt the corpses underneath
the safety's clicked - dead hollow
followed by an eerie echo
this is it - no more fear
my only escape from here
kill me once, kill me twice
in the end you'll pay the price
the clock's ticking echoes drowned
don't you dare make a sound
you're up next mute astound
put your feet back on the ground
play
play the game
there's no rule
and there's no name
have I gone now all insane
stop the torture stop the pain
could be day or night I couldn't tell
what carved my soul was a fast decay
yet the stench of life lingered in the air
among death wails and my deep dark dispair
and when I'm with nothing left
even of faint hope bereft
you will bear my wrath unfold
my flaming fire stonecold
the clock's ticking echoes drowned
don't you dare make a sound
you're up next mute astound
put your feet back on the ground
play
play the game
there's no right
and there's no aim
I have gone now all insane
fuck the torture fuck the pain
