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?
