Labyrinth of Nalod

A journey into the dark places in the mind.

I've built myself a deadly maze
Trying to escape love's gaze

My footsteps echo off the walls
As I crash among the halls

Every brick shouts out a phrase
Cacophonies to blind and daze

Questions hide 'round every bend
Whispering soft the voice of friends

Demons lurk, both large and small
Ever tempting me to fall

Anger, passion, madness, grief
Nowhere seems to find relief

Chambers scattered all throughout
Seem to hold my fears and doubts

But even though I've built this "glen"
There are places I've yet been

The dark recesses of my mind
What lay there I dare not find

I tell myself to find the door
Then I whirl around once more

Lost again within the maze
Sometimes feared for all my days

Because I know the only key
Is the one who forced me

To build this infernal trap I'm in
A den of lust, wrath, greed and sin

My anger holds me down so well
Drags me deeper into Hell

Wrath that does not fade with age
Oh God, help me turn the page

Shatter the stone wherein I'm sealed
All I ask you is to be healed.
