I can't recall a time when sanity

Wrapped her arms around my soul

This mask of flesh cannot conceal

The fear that makes my blood run cold

I lie awake at night and watch my shattered dreams

Cascade hopelessly away

A daily souvenier of all the things

That fill this life with sorrow and dismay

Perdition (x 4)

How long can this go on

The vultures feast on what remains

Of my pathetic shell

Welcome to my perdition!

My private hole deep in the empty pits of hell

My sins have all returned

They hearken me to the shadows

From whence they came

The time has come for me

To face the cold embrace of all my shame

Perdition (x 4)
