I′ve walked the halls of madness

I've heard the jailer′s laugh

I've yet to sing the funeral dirgeThe only option left

Risen from an inferno

Of hopelessness and shame

Walked the tightrope out

Of it then shouldered all the blame

But make no mistake

I know it's always there

It′s always there

The scent of doom riding neglect

It′s hanging in the air

The only thing to fear

Remains inside unseen

Never disappears

Stand guard eternally

The only thing I fear

Lives on inside of me

Whispers in my ear

To the grave eternally

The broken record of my life

Skips bodies of my friends

So many walked that path with me

It took them to their end

Resting on rusty laurels

It's sweating while you sleep

It′s doing push-ups in the dark

With a knife between its teeth

So lest you forget

It never fades away

Won't fade away

Waiting for you to slip and

Put you in the grave

The only thing to fear

Remains inside unseen

Never disappears

Stand guard eternally

The only thing I fear

Lives on inside of me

Whispers in my ear

To the grave eternally, oh

It′s always there

You best beware

Risen from an inferno

But waiting in the deep

It's always there

The only thing to fear

Never disappears

The only thing I fear

Whispers in my ear

I′ll take it to the grave with me
