Emergency exit
Glowing softly green in the black room
Full of madness, inexplicable pain
Nameless emotions
All without foothold
Floating freely in the dark
Creating an untamed beast
In this darkness glows a light
Its gentle green invitation
Promising a way out
Promising an escape
From the Creature of Darkness
Promising the desired silence
Like the starry night sky
Cold and quiet
Stars shining their lonely peace
Gentle, silent peace
Over the door hangs
Three splintering blockades
Bent, rusted nails
Once straight and strong
Before the time of the Creature
Now weakly enforce their law
Scratched on each face
Shouts my barrier
MORALS
FAITH
PROMISE
Each forbidding my crossing
Each splintered cry declaring
The light which glows green
May promise one thing
But can you see through this door?
Eager jaws of hell
Or floating through the stars
Eternal sleep
Or nothing at all
My blindness stops me
From hearing the metal squeal
Of boards being ripped from the door
Like the starry night sky
Stars appearing within reach
But stretching the arm
Until ligaments scream
They still taunt the fingertips
Like the starry night sky
I can see my escape
I can stretch my arms
Until my ligaments scream
But the splintered blockade
Will not allow me to cross
Into the forbidden escape
