"The demons truly were within him and they wanted free. With this deafening, inhuman roar; he awoke back in the asylum. He was burst into flames and the entire place was crashing down around him. Was it all in his head? He could hear screams of pain echoing all throughout this place even overtop of the demonic sound that was emanating from him. He knew this was the end of being haunted by these demons alone."
Dragged through trees and ashes again,
the demons were the ones to awaken
something inside of me so inhuman.
This is where my path to serenity begins.
"You must destroy the young and the weak.
Make terrors pale from restless sleep.
Remember what they made of you,
now let them pray to die."
Some men pray to god as they die,
others suffer through the pain of life.
Mother, what di you expect of me?
No love or compassion, just insanity.
I guess it's time to start again.
Appease these demons I've been sent.
Just what the hell do I deserve,
do I deserve to fall again?
I've spent years abandoned by humanity
at the cost of what was left of my sanity.
Too many years behind these walls,
feels like I've never known the human race.
Anything inside remotely human is gone without trace.
Once again, these are my demons to face...
