*Act 1*

Deep within a green hued carvern
I came to be
In a nightmare's tavern

Unsure the path that led me here
I cringe knowing that evil's near
I feel it in my blood and bone
within this hollow, a great unknown

This place I'll paint my best for you
but when I speak, you'll doubt it's true
Enlightened with lit torch in hand
The walls limestone, and a floor of sand

The sky I see cannot be seen
nothing in sight, could be viewed serene
Ahead, water falls to sorrowing depression
Rythmically rises, and then to recession

Whatever's behind is quite unclear
upon my neck, a breath I fear
Never will I dare to look,
for when I tried, the whole place shook.

To the side, a tunnel, not much wider than I
"Hello?", I scream, and an echo reply.
The other, a vast wall of carving
a soul-like image, that appears to be starving

Perhaps I'll carve my name in stone
for my fate now, is surely known

Down the tunnel, I walk
arms out, nails to chalk
Claw, I must, into the wall
to hold my step, without a fall

And dripping down upon my head,
luke warm drops, a crimson red.
Racing down and in my eye,
I let loose, a painful cry.

Falling to my knees...............
