Entering the bridge of the thousand souls Wondering what for their mourning is rising Enslaved and whipped in pain I travel onwards through their screaming rain Memories soon to be forgotten Left behind me in a world far away Once the bridge has been left behind No demons veiled in past may haunt me With torches of a fiery breath I stalk the chambers of my mind Burn what is left of the pain Secure that emptiness finds its way Strangled by thought - but I cut the end Separated from life - a world of my own Left what once has been "I" In a world not worth being lived in Drowned in oblivion Entering realms where's no pain Drowned in oblivion Stupefied by self denial
