Fairy tale from the abyss
Let the words flow,
with my eyes closed.
Hear the sounds shake,
shake my mental state.
Cowards play behind closed doors.
The brave are forgotten offshore.
Living a lie is no fairytale,
Eventually you'll end up in hell.
Does this mean anything to you?
Are you happy with what they do?
Screaming, waiting for it all to end.
To your own wounds you must attend.
Screw all the rest, they're all redundant and dull.
They're scary and weak underneath of it all.
Take these words with a heavy heart,
It's your life do you know where it starts?
