Hell On Earth

Dispirited

It’s all out of reach

Blurred vision, indecision, broken speech

Extinguish the high

Sledgehammer to my spine

Every bridge to tomorrow is set alight

Pure exhaustion

Ever shrinking circles

Elusive and ever towering hurdle

Extinguish the high

Sledgehammer to my spine

Hope disappears into the night

Will the bloodstains ever leave my mind?

Plagued by darkness when I close my eyes

It’s been a long cold winter

Deeper burrows the splinter

Have I forgotten what it's worth?

Or is this hell on earth?

There is no silver bullet

No choice but to walk through it

There are no hearts of stone

…and this will cut straight to the bone

It’s been a long, cold winter

Deeper burrows the splinter

Have I forgotten what it's worth?

Welcome to hell on earth

Will hope remain? (as the blood runs dry)

Look within, (look to the sky)

Beneath the wax lies the purest gold

And we too shall grow old

Down here there are no lies

Only you see through these vacant eyes

To the crucible, to the distant light

Reaching past eyes unseeing

With every fibre of my being

But can I forgive myself?

Can I forgive myself?

Is this hell on earth?

I'm dying for rebirth

Is this hell on earth?
