Onward fury, fireball of rage Once, twice, hit you again Tumbling, falling, cloud of death Smoke filling lungs, choking life Twenty-five seconds of permanent pain Seeing your life go down in flames There's no escape, nowhere to hide Pulses racing and eyes open wide Trapped inside like a rat in a cage The exits sealed and the walls caving in Fear engulfing my mortal soul I take the plunge, once and for all Twenty-five seconds of permanent pain Seeing your life go down in flames There's no escape, nowhere to hide Pulses racing and eyes open wide Now still laying on the floor Ashen corpses living no more Sacrifice to a vengeful God Vindictive swine marching on to war Twenty-five seconds of permanent pain Seeing your life go down in flames There's no escape, nowhere to hide Pulses racing and eyes open wide Twenty-five seconds of permanent pain Seeing your life go down in flames There's no escape, nowhere to hide Pulses racing and eyes open wide

Cesspool paradise Swimming in shit Scurry vermin to your doom This Town shall be your tomb Crawling parasites Feed off each other Scum of the earth Living in the dirt 'Cos I'm drowning Oh yes I'm drowning In that river The river Thames Tragic city In dying day Has sold it's soul Nothing left, but to pray It's children on the streets A shameful place The veil it falls No more standing tall 'Cos I'm drowning Oh yes I'm drowning In that river The river Thames 'Cos I'm drowning Oh yes I'm drowning In that river The river Thames

Hide away in a darkened shell Alone I like my wounds clean Come and save me from myself All the while my torment hates me If I called my own way out I’ll be branded as a coward This infliction is my weakness Tearing holes that always wound me In the madness and confusion A lone voice can shatter sanity Like broken glass on footprints A burning mirror sees right trough me Twenty years Is a long time spent in isolation Ten more can’t hurt In isolation I’ve cried myself to sleep One thousand times in isolation I’ll do my time In isolation I don’t know what the fuck Has happened to me now Brain corrupt with darkness Heart is filled with hate now Faded lines lead to my soul Interfering with the endless Constant motion of emotion Powering the will to live now Waning ever straining Feel my birth being deleted Hopelessness opening the floodgates Surging ever screaming Twenty years Is a long time spent in isolation Ten more can’t hurt In isolation I’ve cried myself to sleep One thousand times in isolation I’ll do my time In isolation Am I here? Or in another place and time? Animalise my inner thoughts and cannibalise my mind My mirror shatters in my ultimate despair The voices so confusing, I’m pulling out my hair Dead eyes stare back at me Silence breaking noise Prison for my emotions, a place for them to hide In solitude I’ll find myself someone to call my own The voices still confusing, just please leave me alone Twenty years Is a long time spent in isolation Ten more can’t hurt In isolation I’ve cried myself to sleep One thousand times in isolation I’ll do my time In isolation

Dr. Stein 03:57
I’m trapped in this prison cell My life runs thin How will I escape? From this Hell White ghosts descend upon me My eyes grow dim Giggling and screaming still I’m insane Dr. Stein please prescribe me The pills I need Voices will destroy me You’re the eyes staring into me I was carried down the ward As they point and laugh at me Mocking my every mood I’m in Hell They took me to my judgement I kicked and screamed Tied down to the chair You’re all insane Dr. Stein please prescribe me The pills I need Voices will destroy me You’re the eyes staring into me Dr. Stein please prescribe me Those godamn pills Voices will destroy me I know they will

Cesspool paradise, swimming in shit Scurry vermin to your doom This town will be your tomb Crawling parasites, feed off each other Scum of the earth, living in the dirt ‘Cos i’m drowning Oh yes i’m drowning In that river The river Thames Tragic city, in dying day Has sold its soul, nothing left but to pray Its children on the streets, a shameful place The veil it falls, no more standing tall ‘Cos i’m drowning Oh yes i’m drowning In that river The river Thames ‘Cos i’m drowning Oh yes i’m drowning In that river The river Thames
