Beneath these sullen mountains
draped in white
A sun ascends
so cold
so frail a light
It paints the peaks in hues of ashen grey
And steals the warmth of day
Touched by this beauty
all I’ve seen feels like a lie
The horrors softened by a distant sky
But far below
in halls of stone and dread
A waking evil spreads
Oh
it’s for real
this terror in my head
Beneath the rock
in night’s unending reign
Dark hordes are stirring
seething with disdain
A seal lies broken
I alone must fight
And try to restore the light
I have to go back
face what must be faced
How can I be the one
so misplaced
This ordeal has begun
my soul undone
Lost in the dark
where shadows start to breathe
In Neverland’s dungeons
no one to believe
No turning back
this endless
crushing road
A nightmare that won’t erode
And as I stumble toward the vast abyss
I whisper
Why was I brought to this
The hands of fate
have closed around my soul
Oh I’m ready to let go
Though I could break
and lose all control
How can it be me
so weak
so small
Who stands to watch this rising fall
How can I be the hero
How can I win
With crawling shadows closing in
Nameless creatures
demons from the deep
Awake from slumber
while the world’s asleep
No choice remains
no path but this
A fight I can’t dismiss
Lost in the dark
Alone inside this labyrinth of pain
A world away from life or sun or rain
Another time
another world’s lost grace
I can’t recall my face
Oh
how I wish I could just turn and flee
Surrender to the fear consuming me
But I am cursed to walk this night
alone
My hope overthrown
And so I crawl
straight toward hell’s heart of stone
