Desperately crying out for oblivion
i'm finally given my wish

Finally being freed
from this nightmare realm
ready to see my wife and daughter at the end

To cross the pearly white gates
easing on down the golden road I reckon

Happy

Free

Releasing all my transgressions

Though this wish of mine
flipped to the gravest of curses
for I didn't see the pearly gates, no angels,
just a dark hallway at the end
a cherry red door asserted.

Swooshing open
the aroma of fire and brimstone inserted

Chains come slithering and winding
the hands drenched in blood are binding
yanked through the door I see my daughter crying

Racing to her the background I notice
a beast feasting on a fruit bowl of corpses
seeing those are my hands
my minds thrown in a trance

It looks up at a doghouse and
realize it's the one outside

O Lord we're not free
but trapped inside

My spirit

Broken

As all my thoughts aligned
me and my daughter's soul burning,
trapped in the eye of this hellhound
for all of time

Our claim for peace, denied
our souls, denounced
for we're confined for eternity at...
