Insanity’s Tears

By Succubus

Bloody Visions cloud my sight,

Lies destroy my ears;

All through hell’s blackest night,

I see insanity’s tears.

Rage set so deep within,

Your heart is rotting through;

No need to speak of earthly sins,

Your hatred shall rule you.

It’s a darkness all your own,

A poison that is spreading;

Inside your shell the pain has grown,

Your soul left tortured and writhing.

Screams that never reach the surface,

Begging to be freed—

Trapped inside that cold, dead place,

Where you planted hatred’s seeds.

Punishment for any and all,

Who ever dare to touch;

Your heart’s surrounded by a wall,

Your suffering’s your crutch.

Your pain is self-inflicted,

Those demons you have called;

All compassion you felt has fled,

Your mind and soul left mauled.

Chaos plays its deadly role

Making sure that all hope dies;

Madness rules inside your skull,

Contempt pours from your eyes.

Staring into darkness,

He sees himself reflected:

Insanity is the man

Your rage and hate created.

Bloody visions cloud my sight,

Lies destroy my ears;

All through hell’s blackest night

I see insanity’s tears.
