Inner Demons 

 Do you hear the voices 

 Whispering in the trees 

 Do you feel the winter wind 

 As I began to bleed 

 Locked beneath the surface 

 A tomb of bone is found 

 A world of horror in this place 

 So close underground 

 I found this place so long ago 

 And now I'm trapped inside 

 The door has closed and locked itself 

 There's nowhere left for me to hide 

 I'm not the only one in this place 

 A demon dwells here too 

 He sits in darkness 

 So I can't see his face 

 As he whispers of the evil things 

 That he plans to do 

 You can't have light forever 

 Your torch will soon be dim 

 Then you'll be mine 

 And you'll pay for every sin 

 I'll peel your skin off your bones 

 And leave you to rot alive 

 I begin to pray and the demon 

 Stops me with a snort 

 There's no way you'll survive 

 My torch begins to flicker now 

 And the DemonGrounds and stretches 

 I know my time is near 

 The light is growing dim now 

 And the demon begins to laugh 

 My heartbeat is faster now

 I know I won't last
