Gone To Hell



I have been there with you,
At your side in your descent;
All you wanted I gave,
Going ever further down,
And I have wept for it.


Why should I cry, why care -
The sorrow taking me
In it's arms - a lover
To take me away from you.
"Betray him," said sorrow.


"Leave him to his descent
To hell, let him lose and lose.
Love will never change this -
Though what you sought is there
Within him - it is lost."


Those around me repeat
The awful refrain; "It is lost!"
And I have wept for it.
I had offered my blood
And my tears to save you.


Would you have me join you,
Going down the road to hell -
Would you have me lose all
I have, as you have lost - yet
You laugh in the nightmare.


I remain in the land
Of the living as you go
Down the road all alone.
I weep in painful anger
For your descent to hell.
