Lyrics

On a summer night
I took a walk
Out in the fields
Where the grass snakes hide
Six years old
Tore the chair
Found the trap door
Hidden from sight
Fell into the blackness
Seemed like hours
I hit the ground
A sea of skulls
There was no treasure
Just stolen souls
Taken years ago
Down the semper's hole
Men must kill to live
Or quench his thirst
Let's go back to the source
Where it first came from
Death in the eyes
Falling stalactites
Been burned by a light
As angels flew by
They pulled me back up
To the moonlit sky
Covered in dust
It was hard not to cry
Men must kill to live
Or quench his thirst
Let's go back to the source
Where it first came from
Falling through trap doors
Wherever I go
Kicking and screaming
'Cause nobody knows
There's always a trap door
Wherever you step
Keep your eyes open
You deserve what you get
Keep your eyes open
You deserve what you get
Keep your eyes open
You deserve what you get
