Analysis of When Hell is closing in
Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)
I never meant to become
My own worst enemy
Sometimes it feels like I'm running around in circles
A dog chasing after its own tail
With nothing stopping me
Or standing in my way
Point taken let’s not make any more mistakes
When hell is closing in, the real journey begins
The gates open wide welcoming the crowd.
Hastening the furry
When hell is closing in
Time slows down.
Reality freezes
The sulfuric atmosphere ignites the soul.
Now the will has been broken.
Another son has fallen
When Hell is closing in
