Gates of Hell

Michael Anderson

They say the devil has many faces, but this one I had never seen
When you dance with the devil, he will find his way into your soul
The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell and a Hell of Heaven
Hell is empty and all the devils are here
They say evil never sleeps, but sometimes it does - right next to you
This is Chapter 2
Welcome to the Gates of Hell
Never knew the gates of hell
Were shiny golden
Never knew the devil in it
Would have me beholden
To his kiss, to his touch
To his hug, to his fuck
Thought I was in heaven
Until it wasn't...
Here's the problem
It wasn't love
Was a mirage
Behind his smile
Was a fraud
I knew better
I shouldn't settle
I was in purgatory
With the devil
Thought it was heaven
He took me higher
His love burned toxic
Then I felt the fire
I knew better
I shouldn't settle
I was in purgatory
With the devil
I was intoxicated
Inebriated
What felt like love
Turned into hatred
The devils are all here
Inside my head
He made me wish that
I was dead
But here I am, and as for him
I sent him back to hell.
Here's the problem
It wasn't love
Was a mirage
Behind his smile
Was a fraud
I knew better
I shouldn't settle
I was in purgatory
With the devil
Thought it was heaven
He took me higher
His love burned toxic
Then I felt the fire
I knew better
I shouldn't settle
I was in purgatory
With the devil
Burning, burning
Torture, hurting
That bright light
It was so yearning
Frightened, frightened
Gaslight brightened
My nightmares
Became so heightened
It wasn't love
Was a mirage
Behind his smile
Was a fraud
I knew better
I shouldn't settle
I was in purgatory
With the devil
Thought it was heaven
He took me higher
His love burned toxic
Then I felt the fire
I knew better
I shouldn't settle
I was in purgatory
With the devil
