The Gates Of Slumber - The Wretch lyrics

I've a poison in my veins Blackened thoughts to bring me down Memory pains to haunt my brain In a maze I'm lost never to be found All the lies I told myself Make the truth so hard to take It burns my mind And takes my heart to break You took nothing from me In truth I'd nothing to give The poorest man you'll ever see No reason No reason to live I sold my soul so long ago And got nothing in the deal Imagine What a fool I feel As you walked away My hands they went numb And I laughed long at myself For having been so dumb I was a fool to think I'd keep you Down here with me A wretch who's sold his soul Can't hold a bird that's free
