I'm caught in an iron trap
Somewhere between chaos and consolation
Flinching at every thunder clap
Fearing for my imminent desolation

On one side a hand reaches out
On the other a claw extends its infernal grasp
A heavenly voice begins to shout
While a diabolical legion screams in a rasp

Struggling to reach for my salvation
I can feel the dead draw near
Caught between chaos and consolation
An eternity of smoke and fire is all I fear
