[center]Once upon a thousand miles
When emotions are cloaked in deceitful smiles
Tongues coated with smothering lies
Drunkenness and emptiness in it time flies
Tombs on dump sites heard the infant cries

Words and portions of the dark sages
Seeking wisdom and power of the ages
Destroying humanity with their philosophical pages
A man can only be born in two stages
In which the aftermath is wages

A thousand miles far away
A vision of hell in its making
In the likes of Sodom and Gomorrah
Her pool is filled with the blood of saints
Jezebel and Judas all in one fold

If it was a thousand miles far or near
It is the same, living in fear
Her water is the widow’s tears
Agony and pain for those who dare
A thousand miles, a story of fear

What you will never do without
Will forever be your downfall
What you can never give out
Will be what you will never get
You only die when you are as good as dead
