The Town

Pity on you, sinner forever bound
That you are here in god's abandoned ground.
Reach out your hands through the white fog
Pity on you, sinner forever bound.
Walk through the abandoned streets of this town
Vigilant, listening to the creatures that roam.
These beasts take the shape of what you are
Growling, drooling, hungry monsters forevermore.
Say goodbye to what you once knew
Your new reality shows what you can't undo.
Now, everlasting night shapes your life
Your mind locked in eternal strife.
Can you hear them? The screams in the distance
They are the melody that sings in your conscience.
Turned into reality by the avenger,
Devil's child and nightmare's sender.
Touch these walls where blood drips and paint peels,
Beyond them are the victims your heart conceals.
Stare at yourself, transformed by the cruel switch of vanity,
While this place tortures your soul and eats your sanity.
Your doom is sealed, for this town knows
It is your new sanctuary, your new home.

I really like this Lauren. Feels menacing, half snatched from nightmare maybe.
