Behind Closed Doors

Behind Closed Doors

A Poem by mhylands
"

Lyrics for a metal song

"

Behind closed doors

We say the things we dare not say

In the open, out loud

 

Behind closed doors

We do the things we truly fear

Of judgment from the outside world

 

 We always care

For the reckoning

A causeless crusade

Of the suicide clause

 

We always fear

The shapeless form

The all-seeing eye

Seeking salvation

 

Without the hope

There would be no fear

For what is not there

 

Without the fear

We would be nothing

But a cancer of this world

 

This temptation aroused

Forsakes the souls we bear

 

Behind closed doors

We never care

Behind closed doors

We never fear, yet

Behind closed doors

We still despair

For the truth

To be revealed
