Haunting me Down

the dark, the smell, the dust
the beating of the heart
it throbs
it's aching in my chest

even when I try to scream
I can't seem to breathe
I'm alone in here
need to fight the fear
away from the wall

this space is too small

with every step that I take
I feel more pain
and I can't get out
it's haunting me down

the harder I try to escape
the more it aches
can it be
is the past
closing in on me

the noise, the smoke, the chant
the smell of the incense
the robe
I'm kneeling to confess

even when I try to pray
I can hear the voice
of the angels say
I'm a chosen man
in a chosen land
still I'm damned

I'm the devil's hand

with every step that I take
I feel more pain
and I can't get out
it's haunting me down

the harder I try to escape
the more it aches
I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm so scared

whatever you do don't touch the stone
whatever you do don't touch the stone
whatever you do don't touch the stone
whatever you do don't touch the stone
