I descended beneath the earth
To spend my life and youth in hell
By the side of the lord of death
The barren king who was myself

My mother didn't care, I thought
That she was of her child bereaved
Bitter and lost I never saw
That wrapped in winter's shroud she grieved

"Return to me my dearest child,"
The yearning mother sadly said
I didn't heed nor care because
I was already with the dead

On my face is a mask
The mask of a smiling clown
With a smile that conveys as much happiness
As the fixed grin of rigor mortis
And as all masks are worn to hide the truth
This clown's mask hides something
That has been dead for years

See the clown laugh
(it's only a recording)
See the clown dance
(it's only spasms of death)
Laugh clown, laugh!

Oh, but the part of the clown's hard to play
And this mask so heavy to wear
I wish you could see behind it, and ask me:
"Does it hurt, my friend?"
And I'd answer:
"Only when I laugh, my dear - Only when I laugh"

Drops of water hit the ground
Regular and rhythmic
Sharp sounds echoing hollowly
Like metallic heartbeats
Grinding on my nerves
Its monotony not quite broken
By my shuffling feet
As I slowly and painstakingly
Fumble forward along a path
Dimly illuminated by shadowy ghost-lights.
Sometimes I think I hear whispering
From branching entrances I pass
Soft breezes of unintelligible words.
Small, cold reptiles dart across my feet
I shudder at their touch.
I have been here for a very long time, now
And still there is no sign
Of a way out of this cave.
I wonder sometimes what I am doing here
I think I mislaid the answer
Somewhere on the path behind me
As I am still in the dark...

Standing on the edge of a cliff
I saw beneath me, under the water's surface
A forest of outstretched, pleading hands
Swaying like trees touched by a
Wind that sighs and moans;
An unending chorus of
Countless voices:

alone...unloved...unwanted...
cold...so alone...
help me...

An ocean of lost souls
Slowly dying of loneliness and despair
I want so much to reach out
To bring comfort and understanding
But I don't know where to start
If I touch these hands,
Will they drag me under
--Will I drown?
