The darkest Corners of my mind
Slip inside my Soul and find
The echoes of a tortured mind
Follow the twists and turns around
Sinking ever deeper down
To the place where darkness reigns
And monsters there are cast in chains
Where ghosts are silent, looking on
Remembering what is bygone
The locks are sturdy in this place
The key is in a secret place
The door is guarded, barred and sealed
The entrance to the killing fields
Now sleep in peace all through the night
No fear, affray or sudden fright
Because we who carry this heavy load
Will bear the scars upon our souls.
Be thankful now for those who stray
Into the frantic, murderous fray
Men of steel but soft inside
Filled with an irrational pride
The years they pass the memories dim
But sometimes in the night they come
To steal my sleep and cross the line
From the darkest corners of my mind
