In Tongues

My still tongue in a straight jacket
 Bursts at the seams with troubles untold
 For I am weak, my shriveled lungs let out
 Their final screams in vain and
 Grow cold
 In this frenzy of frantic voices
 I need only to silence my own
 They speak, they speak in tongues
 In the basement of my mind
 I am shackled to
 All of the things that I tried to forget
 The cuffs write in red on my paper skin
 A knock at the door
 Is to be ignored
 The voices told me
 "Don't let anyone in"
 You are safer now than ever before
 Here with us underground
 As for the many who will beckon
 Make no exceptions
 The one who knocks
 He will lead you astray
 With false hope and promises
 You will be tested, but falter not
 We will protect you from the unsound
 Only we know the truth
 Speak only the words that we approve
 Be bathed in the darkness
 Banish the light
 For He who 'saved' you
 Is the Devil Himself
 Be bathed in the darkness
 Banish the light
 For He who 'saved' you
 Is the Devil Himself"
 Take
 Me
 I am weak
 I pledge my
 Allegiance
 To
 The priest of
 Loathing and despair
 I pledge my
 Allegiance
 To His unholy name:
 Baphomet
 This is my testament
 To the unholy
 I have seen the black prince
 He is unwavering
 This is my testament
 To the unworthy
 I have seen the darkness
 It has enveloped me
