Guilt
Do you feel the darkness
crawling to your bed?
It's time for the demons
to awake in your head
No longer you're safe
and surely never sound
for it's back again
their haunting sound
Squeezing your heart
burdening your chest
Stinging like needles
You'll have no rest
As you close your eyes
for sleep is what you need
all that you'll see
is your past sinful deeds
Their faces, their screams
their mercy begging eyes
Who are you to decide
who lives and who dies?
Now you feel the guilt
killing you in silence
and in case you're wondering
that sound is your conscience
