there were stairs
they were steep
I was falling falling deep
you were there
you were small
there was screaming down the hall

I've been here
sleeping all these years
there comes a time we all know
there's a place that we must go
into the soul
into the heart
into the dark

there was fire
there was death
there was lying on your breath
I turned away
I would pretend
but the burning never ends

I've been here
sleeping all these year
there comes a time we all know
there's a place that we must go
into the soul
into the heart
into the dark

there was a wave
over the house
there was fear choked in my mouth
you were there

you left your mark
as I stumbled in the dark
there comes a time we all know
there's a place that we must go
into the soul
into the heart
into the dark
