[bodytext] => Walking down the gray stone steps A light just ahead, leading my way The sounds of my footsteps echo off the stone The music now begins to play I’m starting to feel a little nervous now As I walk deeper and deeper down. The light grows dimmer, the music louder Why shouldn’t I just turn around? The walls are getting darker and damper But beneath my feet the stones are getting warm My heart is warning me to turn back now But my mind drives me on. Reaching for the light ahead of me But never quite reaching far enough Mesmerizing me, never letting go My soul being dragged by my own cuffs. I’m at the bottom of the staircase now Wondering what lies ahead This is my last chance to turn back Or step forward to the world of the dead. A veil of shadow falls before me Hiding what’s said to be hell from view I know to survive I must turn back But I have to know if it’s true. I slowly raise my foot from the stair Squinting, I’ve got to know what lies beyond The music stops, the step echoes from every wall And I am forever gone.
