Eighth Lock

Aye! (Eighth Lock!) [Verse 1] No one to see, nowhere to go Nothing to do, no one to know Eighth Lock Eighth Lock! Nothing will live, nothing will grow No one will care, no one will know Eighth Lock, you never can win You only get out by not going in [Pre-Chorus] They put me into the ground Lost without light, without taste, without sound Beneath the barren mound They put me in a place they call Eighth Lock [Chorus] (Eighth Lock!) But I'm getting stronger (Eighth Lock!) Not very much longer! [Verse 2] No one to see, nowhere to go Nothing to do, no one to know Eighth Lock Eighth Lock! Nothing will live, nothing will grow No one will care, no one will know Eighth Lock, you never can win You only get out by not going in [Pre-Chorus] Who the hell am I? Yeah, yeah, yeah! And what did you do to my hands? I'm getting stronger [Bridge] They built this place with steel And painted it with mud It's constantly on fire They put it out with blood They said it was a prison But became so much more The maze it built into itself They had to bar the door Bar the door! Quickly, you fools! Nothing to do, nowhere to go! The floating eyeball is to be feared The pupil hides a maw They say that children run this place That's how they missed the fatal flaw [Chorus] Eighth Lock, you never can win You only get out by not going in No one to see, nowhere to go Nothing to do Eighth Lock, you never can win You only get out by not going in No one to see, nowhere to go Nothing to do, no one to know [Solo] When you come to Eighth Lock It's like some vile rebirth Where devils delve into your life And demons deem its worth The food comes through a hole My cellmate is a troll The warden, he has hooks for hands We all play our roles We all play our roles! Or wind up On a pole (Eighth Lock, Eighth Lock, Eighth Lock, Eighth Lock Eighth Lock, Eighth Lock, Eighth Lock, Eighth Lock!) A diabolic construct (Eighth Lock, Eighth Lock, Eighth Lock!) As flesh runs rife with worms (Eighth Lock, Eighth Lock) Somehow flesh and metal merge As bloated larvae squirms The things within, they made with rules Ahh... They steal the souls of those they think are fit to play their hateful games
