Hallowed - Driveways

I woke up in a room that I don’t recognize

I see insidious symbols upon the floor

There’s a portrait in the corner with the devil’s eyes

I feel it watching me walking towards the door

So I step outside into a corridor

Two hundred seventeen on the doorway across the hall

From behind it plays a melody I’ve heard before

I try to follow the music until I fall through the floor

Into a room pitch black

I look above at the ceiling I fell through

A pair of sunken eyes look back

They’re watching me now, they’ll see me in hell too

I tried to find my way out

You left me here to die

Trapped inside for days now

I saw my death inside your eyes

A shallow grave, a sign

A vindictive mind

Let hallowed places die

I look up and see a candlelight as bright as day

An illuminated glow in the all encompassing black

Over time I see a face appear behind the flame

As soon as I approach it my head is bringing me back to a

Distant dream I had from years ago

Crimson flooded halls and I’m buried beneath the tide

As I’m drowning I can swear I fucking hear it though

Eight notes like a vision in Danny Torrance’s mind

I feel my blood run cold

My lungs fail, I can’t seem to yell

A pair of sunken eyes look back

They’re watching me now, they’ll see me in hell

I push back the hands from my throat

As I run through the dark I can make out a window it’s blistering cold

Moonlight is draped over two hooded silhouettes

They point to the ground

Four withered hands gesture towards an inscription

I can’t make it out

But the voice in my head starts to read what was written down

Hold it together and brace for the end

Let go of the pressure and make your descent

October Forever in scarlet you drown

You’re over the terror you’re part of it now

I’m hoping I can make it out of here alive

I froze when I saw my demise inside your eyes
