bound to live
forbidden to die
lost within an illusion
caught within a coil
living in a tormented hell
waiting to rebel
chasing unseen wraith
revenants of the past haunt me
how did i come to this fate
tortures i can not take
lost within my own mind
a phantasm without a door
can my past dues be paid
how have i come upon hells gate
will i escape
this maze in my mind
a labyrinth
tormented hallucination
death's voice a tribulation
will i live
and be forbidden to die
