Entering into a beautiful place could be deceiving.
** Image ID #2066985 Unavailable **



Come enter a world of timeless dimension
Where life as you know it recedes.
Blocked behind our fences that reach up to the sky,
We find shelter in this serene space.
A foggy mist hides what we really are,
Shrouded in mystery we lure our prey.
They come expecting peace and tranquility,
But instead find torment and pain.
Once you pass through our gates of hell
There is no going back to the other side.
Trapped in with all you fear
Your worst nightmares do appear.
They haunt and chase you all the day
And crawl around you as night descends.
Sleep is not a place to escape
Instead they bury deep into your mind
And steal any hope that they may find.
A lost soul is what you become;
Trapped in endless eternity.
Looking for freedom and an easy way;
You are bound to the sins of your day.
There is no death
And escape is fruitless.
What you have chosen
Now controls you.
Free will slips away and in its place
Bonds of heavy metal score your wrists
Cutting into your thinning, fragile skin
Marking you as ours.
Fear rides high and screams shred your senses
Leaving you weak and tattered.
There is no way out
You’re a guest lost in sin.
