Another step down
Another step closer
Closer to the water
Where I'll drown
In Hell I'll see
My beautiful crown
My crown of spikes
So snugly it fits
Digging in my flesh
With all its might
My crown of blood, of
Tears unshed
Nobody ever saw how
Internally I bled
My crown of sorrow
Of bitterness, of dread
My crown of dreams
Crushed and dead
My crown of friends
Who came and left
My crown of sins
That I'll never repent
Crown me, then
Announce my crimes
Torture me till
My blood runs dry
Still, I'll say
I had to die
Condemn me
Forever in Hell
Chain me to this
Eternal jail
Crown me, won't you
Hurry up now?
Crown me with
The fire of Hell
For my sins I have
Been justly repaid
With my punishment
Justice has reigned
My crown of bitterness
I wear henceforth
Condemned to stay here
Forevermore
I may be crazy, I
May be mad
But life has been
Just as bad
Hell down below or
Hell on earth
Is one better
And is one worse?
