The death chamber

On the morning of the 12th
On his way to work
He finds the building missing
And in its place, a chamber

Inside are the echoes of death
And the sounds of men working
He sees nothing
But a pit of despair

chorus:
In the chamber
The hopeless man approached
Leaving behind
All that he had known

They took away
His livelihood and health
So as a final effort
He enters the pitch black depths

He enters, yet sees nothing
Once inside, he quickly plummets

A fathom deep
He begins to hear
Whispers from the shadows

In the darkness he sees
Thousands of lost souls
Cowering in fear

chorus:
In the chamber
The hopeless man approached
Leaving behind
All that he had known

They took away
His livelihood and health
So as a final effort
He enters the pitch black depths

Outside the walls
He sees a distant figure
It draws nearer
Revealing the face of his wife

He calls out to her
But she merely sobs
He turns around to find
A scythe-bearing shadow
The darkens his vision

chorus:
In the chamber
The hopeless man approached
Leaving behind
All that he had known

They took away
His livelihood and health
So as a final effort
He enters the pitch black depths
