Dark Downward Spiral
I. The Obstruction
Its something that has to happen
Has to happen to everyone
Has to look them in the face
Has to change up their pace
Fork, hurdle
Bump, obstruction
Destruction
A place to change their pace
He's come across
On this trail of life
One he cannot cross
One he cannot move
One he cannot climb
Without some kind of painful scarifice
II. The Fall
"I am a man not of virtue
But of jealousy
I am a man not of understanding
But of anger"
Travel straight and forward
He feels the darkness
Flowing through him
Hot and all alone
Burning blood
Deception he's been shown
Anger surges now
Steam whistling veins
Bursting out so
Hot and all alone
Burning blood
Carefully snap the bones
III. Contact
"Extracting life
A feeling so new and yet so old
Power flowing through me
I use the obstacle in my favor"
IV. The Dark Downward Spiral
Fame
A life not ignored
A wealth stolen
A guilt swollen
Shame
Drown it in darkness
Fill it with hate
And wash it away with your deepest desires
