Visions of stone walls
Cold, stone walls
And a tunnel
With no light at the end of the tunnel
A single torch behind him as
He walks forever down the hall
So dark
(His shadows are having fun dancing)
But he cannot dance because
He is afraid, so afraid and
He cannot sit down or stop and rest
(Or even sleep)
He can only keep on walking down the hall
So dark
(And cold)
Sometimes when he feels like thinking
He thinks about how far he's come
And how so far it's been all for nothing
The torch just keeps on burning
And he just keeps on walking down the hall
So dark
(And cold)
Lonely...
Sometimes he cries
And the tears come slowly and thick
Inching down his face like melted wax
But freezing there before
they reach is cracked lips.
Time will not stop for him
Except he doesn't notice
Because there is no such thing as time for him
In the hallway
So dark
(And cold)
He is waiting for a trap door
He is waiting for a variation in the stones
He is waiting for the torch to die
He wants to hold the dying ember in his hands
And when it dies he will want to die too
He knows this
But premonitions haunt him
Visions of him still walking
Walking away from the blackened coal
Just for eternity
Maybe it wont be that long...
Or maybe he just doesn't want to care
