Chains of Solitude

Don't be fooled by your wanton desires
 For I have bathed in your funeral pyres
 Once I was not but a young man
 Memories lost to the shifting sands
 Of time! Of Time!!!
 Take my hand and follow
 To the caverns below
 Beneath the hollow shell
 The river of death must flow.
 Rivers of twilight, Dance through my mind
 Denied man's gift, I'm left behind
 Tortured by loneliness, driven insane
 No chance that I'll have peace again.
 Bargain struck the deal has been made
 Price is set to live beyond the grave
 Is it worth it to gain immortality
 Life without death, man's greatest fallacy
 Always seek to live beyond your means
 Was your life not as good as it seemed?
 You will dwell in the hell that you built
 Forced to live with your fears and your guilt
 Watch your loved ones wither and die
 Taken to heaven to be buried
 In the sky! In The Sky!!!
 Take my hand and follow
 To the caverns below
 Beneath the hollow shell
 The river of death must flow.
 Rivers of twilight, Dance through my mind
 Denied man's gift, I'm left behind
 Tortured by loneliness, driven insane
 No chance that I'll have peace again.
