The hungry tomb

The hungry tomb

It's a dirty old world 

That's filled with pretense

It makes your blood curl 

When you fold your arms in defense

As the beauty before thee unfolds

The illusions of love take heart 

The mystical tales untold

That shall pull you inside and apart 

So it is one dark night 

When she pulled you into her room 

That you decided to give up the fight

To enter the hungry tomb 

Inside; walking through the tunnels

The dark deep twisted tunnels 

Where the water channels

And red blood travels 

In this illusion 

This great Taj Mahal 

Where kings build for the delusion 

With a mankind in single file 

To enter the palace 

For the final exit near 

The red blood means no malice

Other than your own fear 

It's a dirty old world 

That's filled with pretense 

It makes your blood curl 

When you fold your arms in defense
