Why Did They Leave You Alive?

That dark day when the demons kidnapped you,

To your mind, Why did they leave you alive?

When all seven came for you, you unaware

Up until you stood with all your limbs bare

Before the devil himself, staring down at you,

Why do you think he let you survive?

The snort the demons gave throwing you out,

More humiliating than death itself,

How many nights you've secretly mused on it,

Drunk on your pain, they bite you and they spit,

You don't have to admit it to me, I'm not in doubt,

The truth of your solitary nights only matters to yourself.

Did they let you go because you're strong?

Or you're weak? Too brutal or too meek?

The devil has a plan for your mortal spiraling soul,

He left it for another kind of slowly controlled fall,

Don't flirt with the thought of freedom for you don't belong,

Of the land of freemen you shall never speak.

Pull on the string and then another string,

Don't they feel good around your neck veins,

Enjoy the torture, it's why you were left alive,

Enjoy how on your suffocation the devil will thrive,

Smile for the gentleman and accept what he'll bring,

For he's the one holding the keys to your chains.

And that dark day the demons kidnapped you,

They did not want to keep you alive,

Because all the seven did not really care,

But with you exposed only the devil could dare,

To see himself when he stared down at you,

So he hung your soul on the wall and let you survive.
