My Asylum
By Asylum
Morbid hallways swathed in death,
Smeared with bloodsoaked discontent,
Wrought with cacophonic lament;
This is my asylum.
Eyeless
gazes pierce the veil
That separates my mind from Hell.
Though,
thin's the shroud that shan't prevail;
This is my asylum.
Lipless, toothless, ear to ear;
These wretched grins sinewed with
fear.
Putrefaction rots their sneers;
This is my asylum.
This is where the dead don't die;
This hellion mire's where
they abide
With fleshless hands stretched toward the sky;
This
is my asylum.
Asphyxiation, let me breathe,
Lest I join
these mortuous fiends.
Purge my soul; I shall bequeath
Myself
to my asylum.

that is badass... love the imagery.... hell itself becomes your asylum.... the vision of the dead unable to die... fleshless hands stretched... definitely gruesome, but with a classic sound, well written, good structure! awesome, man, welcome to the valley
