Lock all the doors
Throw yourself on the floor
The devils coming, coming for more
Seeking the screams he adores

There was a time when all was good
He cherished you and forever would
Vow that carried with them unseen rage
Love faded and the doors opened to its cage

Pounding, the door is shaking
Trembling, there no escaping
Screaming, why is no one coming?
In this alone, no one helping

In his eyes fires burning
In his mind nothing but anger
You’re grateful he’s not a father
Save innocent souls from the terror

So blinded by unconditional love
So mislead by misplaced hope
So hurt by the painful reality
Yet can’t hate what you love so deeply

Why did no one warn you?
Someone could’ve offered a hint
God could’ve given you a clue
That his love was faded with an evil tint

So easy can the heart betray
When you let reasoning decay
Opening your heart and soul yesterday
Closing your eyes and door today

Nothing will stop this pain
Until you break free from this chain
Cut your heart and his soul, and wait for the rain
To wash the guilt away, the tyrant has been slain

Fearing the same faith as before
You will never find the cure
Forever insecure, always unsure
Never will you relive a love so pure
