Proclivitas ( Inferna pars una)
Maze like corridors leading to areas unknown
Along these paths so many have been shown
Doorways to others immortal souls
Locked like cells in ancient gaols.
Darkest of places artificially lit
Gloom laden corners in which to sit
Shafts of light reveal glistening dust motes
Each a memory of previous thoughts
Shock me, knock me,
As you treat this affliction
Shock me, knock me,
As you treat this addiction,
In a caligo mentalis entrance the demon is revealed
Light strikes his features no longer concealed
Red eyed with a pursed lipped grin
Now, truly, his foul torture can begin
Shock me, knock me,
As you treat this affliction
Shock me, knock me,
As you treat this addiction,
Visions of past sins incessantly replayed
Time, energy, life ultimately dismayed
Turned and twisted through my head
A serpentine procession of the dead
Taking each sin apart limb by ungodly limb
Struggling I try to wrestle control from him
This war is on, fully engaged
His denizens angered, now enraged
Lock me, mock me,
Have your denizens tease
Lock me, mock me
As they try to appease
Then they are gone sooner than they appeared
I am alone with him a scenario I so feared
An evil smile spreads slowly across his face
His arms now spread with a wish to embrace
My resistance is strong my fight not done
As I stand against him all alone
He looks shocked as I start to grin
Maybe I'm not quite done with him
As I mock him, shock him
Revealing this addiction
As I mock him, shock him
Negating this affliction.
