In this world of the insane

Through corridors of retched dark
The mind and soul does now depart
Midst the hallways that twist and wind
In the ruins of a tattered mind.

From a spirit that once roamed free
As open as the endless sea
To a stunted remnant of yesterday
A waste of blackness and decay.

Black is white and East is West
Rational won’t pass the test
Satanic laughter rings the brain
In this world of the insane

Voices speak in silent tongues
Reminding one of wrongs they’ve done
A world of gaping mouths and staring eyes
Where lies are truth and truths are lies

Faceless things lurch and reel
In this world of chaos where nothing heals
And every day is just the same
In this place of no reframe


Darkness rules in this place of grief
Where all is lost and there is no relief
We all wear the mark of Cain
In this world of the insane

Past is future and tomorrows passed
Last is first and first is last
Down is up and up is down
In this demonic world that I have found

There are no tomorrows, there is no hope
Only pain and endless woe
In this place where madness reigns
In the frenzied rage of this domain

And worst of all is the knowledge sure
Of those that in this place endure
No relief, no hope, no gain
In this world of the insane
