The Snake & The Pit

Followed the snake to the pit
Room for lost souls
They took me to sleep
With a thought to choke on

Who wants to live seeking saviours
And reap what is sown
In a never-ending circle?

No water drag me, no flame can harm me
I rise higher and higher
No chain can bound me, no eyes defy me
I rise higher and higher

Fear will feed with what you let in
You won't see how firm the rein is

I'm not the man you betrayed
Now I know that
Hope isn't my game, it is a jail made for us
I saw the fiends drool for my skin
But I stepped without fear
As I walked they made way for me
