Flee Yourself
Running down a pitch dark track
Isolated, don’t look back
Running on to freedom gained
Running ever from the pain
Never turn to face your foes
Never give in to your woes
Never tackle it head on
Never stop, the road be long
Running on till nearly spent
Only then do you repent
And begin to call for your salvation
While creeps behind you, your damnation
Thoughts come on you in a flood
Memories mingled in your blood
Crooked heart begat your evil
Crooked heart held by the devil
And as the nighttime shadows pass
Finally caught up, here at last
The screaming of your fate arrives
Dragged below by gleaming eyes
