I've slept through worse than this.
The faint sounds of sirens and panic pierce the streets.
Through my window and into my brain.
Unknowing what waits for me the next day.

Let's take a walk through hell. Let's take a walk...
The world is in a frenzy. They warn of doom ahead.
A fever's over everyone. The sick have claimed the land.

The voices call out to me.
One after the next.
Some pleading, some reeling, others screaming.

I must walk through hell and endure the truth.
I must walk through hell.
I'm not so sure of heaven on the other side, but I've got to walk through hell.

The journey's long and treacherous. My spirit, fragile at best.
The air is thick and poisonous. My pulse is fast with fear.

The voices call out to me.
One after the next.
Some pleading, some reeling, others screaming.

I must walk through hell and endure the truth.
I must walk through hell.
I'm not so sure of heaven on the other side, but I've got to walk through hell.
There's danger at every turn but I've got to walk through hell.

Now the rain starts.
No mercy from the skies.
How did it come to this? Out of sight and out of mind.

Is this fever?
No cure?
The final nail.

New demons swarm the land.
With mongrels led by hand.
The snarling beasts will eat.
If I don't push on I will face defeat.

I'm climbing through the trench, I'm barely alive now.
I feel the pressure build, it's just a few more steps.
The horrors that I've seen.
I'll live to tell the tale, I've got to remember.
I'm past the border of obscene.

I must walk through hell and endure the truth.
I must walk through hell.
I'm not so sure of heaven on the other side, but I've got to walk through hell.
There's danger at every turn but I've got to walk through hell.

I will look back and ask the reason why?
I will look back and never understand.
Can't comprehend, I must ask the reason why?
I will look back and try to understand.
