Eighth Lock Songtext / Lyric

No one to see

Nowhere to go

Nothing to do

No one to know



Eighth lock

Eighth lock



Nothing will live

Nothing will grow

No one will care

No one will know



Eighth lock

You can never win

You only get out

By not going in



They put me down into the ground

Lost without light, without taste, without sound

Beneath the barren mound

They put me in a place they call eighth lock






Eighth lock

But I'm getting stronger

Eighth lock

Not very much longer



No one to see

Nowhere to go

Nothing to do

No one to know



Eighth lock

Eighth lock



Nothing will live

Nothing will grow

No one will care

No one will know



Eighth lock

You can never win

You only get out

By not going in



Who the hell am I?

Yeah, yeah, yeah

And what did you do to my hands?

I'm getting stronger



They built this place with steel

And painted it with mud

It's constantly on fire

They put it out with blood



They said it was a prison

But became so much more

The maze it built into itself

They had to bar the door



Bar the door!

Quickly you fools!

Nothing to do

Nowhere to go



The floating eyeball is to be feared

The pupil hides a maw

They say that children run this place

That's how they missed the fatal flaw



Eigth lock

You never can win

You only get out

By not going in



No one to see

Nowhere to go

Nothing to do



Eigth lock

You never can win

You only get out

By not going in



No one to see

Nowhere to go

Nothing to do

No one to know



When you come to eighth lock

It's like some vile rebirth

Where devils delve into your life

And demons deem it's worth



The food comes through a hole

My cellmate is a troll

The warden he has hooks for hands

We all play our roles

We all play our roles

Or wind up on a pole



(Eighth lock)



A diabolic construct

As flesh runs rife with worms



Somehow flesh and metal merge

As bloated larvae squirms

The things within they made with rules

They steal the souls of those they think are fit to play their hateful games
