I have come a long way I've met many a friend Who gave to me their hearts Their bread, and their wine Into the lower lands Down to the depths of self I have come To discover what's lying behind The mask My mask
It might tear me apart If I see what's inside my heart my heart
The ground is so dank The air is sour in the valley of humiliation I can see him now Coming for me there will be no negotiation It's here He's here
Man, he's ugly as sin Slimy scales are his precious pride
Should I go back in retreat Or do I confront the beast If I turn and run he'll get my gun Better stand and face Apollyon
