Lake Of Fire

My pulse is pounding
I’m weighed down by doubt’s persistence
I’m wondering if I’m headed anywhere
I’ve got no sense of direction, but that’s my burden to bare
I’ve spent my whole life chasing images out on the horizon
But the image I chase is the one that always seems to fade

But you won’t see me crumbling under
Under the weight of what I can’t escape!

Now I feel my finger around the trigger
I’m out of touch with the common man
I’m pounding pavement, yeah I’m on a mission!
To put the world in the palm of my hand
What’s the sense in purpose, if I loathe all I see?
Put my hands up, blot them out
Peace is distance from my surroundings

But you won’t see me running backwards
Or begging for a clean slate!

If you spoke to me, I’d whisper words so heavy
They’d crush your dreams
Just as quick as they had come to be
Because after you’ve done all that you can
You’ll be God damned and just stand
In the lake of fire!

In the lake of fire!
