I've been on a journey to the dungeons of souls To the place where the spirits await And all the stories of bright light and peace Are just tales to secure us from fear The walls in the cave they were whispering their sorrow Shadows of spirits cried without sound "Please set us free, give us redemption" But they have to wait till the final bell rings (rings, rings, rings, rings)
[Bridge:] So the image of heaven might be misleading Don't trust in the words 'cause I've been there and back
[Bridge]
[Chorus:] They are souls on a voyage Roaming endlessly Spirits on an eternal crusade Whispering shadows with grief in their voices My picture of paradise's beginning to fade
I entered a tunnel and the light was so pale The brightness had turned into grey I've heard all the stories 'bout choir of angels But there was nothing but silence I came to a place like a cave in a mountain And misery hit me like rain I couldn't see no way out of this prison A restroom for souls and judgement day calls
[Bridge x2] [Chorus]
One thing I know, death isn't final We're travelling somewhere when our flame's going out And when it's my time to buy me a ticket I'd rather not make it, the last flight to god I've been there before, there is no glory Just a condition of empty despair
