The Devil Calls

 When its late and night has fallen
I hear his voice, my name he's calling
I don't want to answer but feel I must
For if I don't, I'll be left as dust
He has me trained just like a dog
But he always leaves me in a fog
My mind is broken, my heart all drained
My emotions fleeting, I am so pained
Locked in my head, he’s made his home
He ties me down with lock and key
And proceeds to throw it in the sea
Gone forever, just like my dreams
Nothing is ever as it seems
He likes to keep me as his pet
Knowing I will never win this bet
His evil eyes are everywhere
No one can escape his heartless stare
If looks could kill, he’d be the winner
For he is the most dangerous sinner
When I feel to weak to try
He lets me out to try and fly
But my wings he's clipped so bad you see
I'll never be the bird in my dreams
Free to roam the world with glee
That’s not my story and I'm sad to say
That real life never ends up that way
His eyes meet mine and for just a second
I thought I could hear his black heart beckon
For something more, something right
Something that doesn't make him fight
Stuck in a forest surrounded by trees
Nightmares that haunt him, he drops to his knees
It's a one-way ticket to hell, best believe
I've been here for years, I can never leave
Doomed to this torment, from under the earth
To the devil's child, I will soon give birth
He will tear me apart, limb from limb
And he will eat me alive, down to bones and skin
