Damned

Feels like a long time since I've been awake
 I slowly come to senses
 And notice that I lie in the sand
 Grey oppressing atmosphere surrounds me
 Twisted shadows mark the ground
 Crooked figures in the distance
 How did this come to be
 I don't remember many things
 Can't explain, this place is so unreal
 I get the feeling I'm alone
 Yet the pulse begins to grow
 Wandering through these wastelands
 Confused, bewildered
 Stranded in nothingness
 So strange, deceptive
 The bitter taste of truth
 I had it all
 A dream come true
 Now there's nothing left to lose
 A faithful love, a life in place
 But I was guided into my disgrace
 I threw it all away
 
 I recall the day
 When I heard the line
 Old man came to me, and said
 "You don't have to live in misery"
 As he walked away
 And I weighed his words
 Thoughts of wealth and fame got the best of me
 It struck me like lightning
 Where am I? "You are here"
 Rang the voice through my mind
 "Dwelling down in the desert of the torn"
 No escape from the pain that awaits you my child
 What you've sewn you shall reap forevermore
 Consumed by terror
 Dreading the merciless
 Damned off existence
 A price too high to pay
 I had it all
 A dream come true
 Now there's nothing left to lose
 A faithful love, a life in place
 But I was guided into my disgrace
 I threw it all away
