[Verse 1]

Awaken in a web-like Hell

How did I reach this place?

Why are they haunting me?

I cannot look at God's face

Paralyzing brilliant light

Trying to run

Want to scream but cannot speak

I cannot look at God's face


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus]

Blind my eyes, I can't see

What is being done to me

In my mind, only pain

All the memories are drained


[Verse 2]

Victimized specimen

Deathless torture

Void with no mercy

Black shroud blinds those who see

Violated

Naked before you I stand

Shattered shrine of flesh and bone

God's piercing through my soul


[Instrumental Break]


[Guitar Solo]


[Guitar Solo]


[Interlude]

Segments of my life

Morbid pieces of reality

Twisted personality

Many faces yet faceless

Familiar things give way to strange

No mercy, no reason, just pain


[Verse 3]

Fatal subconscious control

Threshold of pain unfolds

Transfixed martyr saving race

Who am I to judge thy grace?

Awaken in a web like Hell

How did I reach this place?

Why are they haunting me?

I cannot look at God's face


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus]

Blind my eyes, I can't see

What is being done to me

In my mind only pain

All the memories are drained

The main character is immobile and can’t speak but is full of terror.

He awakes in a bizarre web with no recollection of how he got to where he is. He is surrounded by an unseen, enormous presecence he refers to as “God.”

Once again, a suggestion to a scientific horror, like alien abduction or human experimentation.

It appears he is involved in some bizarre human experimentation, possibly extraterrestrial.
