Damned

Feels like a long time since I've been awake

I slowly come to senses

And notice that I lie in the sand

Grey oppressing atmosphere surrounds me

Twisted shadows mark the ground

Crooked figures in the distance

How did this come to be

I don't remember many things

Can't explain, this place is so unreal

I get the feeling I'm alone

Yet the pulse begins to grow

Wandering through these wastelands

Confused, bewildered

Stranded in nothingness

So strange, deceptive

The bitter taste of truth

I had it all

A dream come true

Now there's nothing left to lose

A faithful love, a life in place

But I was guided into my disgrace

I threw it all away

I recall the day

When I heard the line

Old man came to me, and said

"You don't have to live in misery"

As he walked away

And I weighed his words

Thoughts of wealth and fame got the best of me

It struck me like lightning

Where am I? "You are here"

Rang the voice through my mind

"Dwelling down in the desert of the torn"

No escape from the pain that awaits you my child

What you’ve sewn you shall reap forevermore

Consumed by terror

Dreading the merciless

Damned off existence

A price too high to pay

I had it all

A dream come true

Now there's nothing left to lose

A faithful love, a life in place

But I was guided into my disgrace

I threw it all away
