Leper Beholder - Gutter Instinct

Gazed too long into the abyss

It is now a part of me

Cast down, cast out, trapped in, long lost

In this leper colony

Isolated, desolated

Behind walls of tainted glass

Doomed beholder, growing colder

Learns to despise the common mass

And you’ll become aware

Where this path will lead

A misdeed for a misdeed

Living sin

Torn within

By its own kin

Leper beholder

Growing colder

Leper beholder

Shaped inside a forge of hate

A hardened heart withers to dust

Paradox of strength and poison

Spawned from the birth of mistrust

Innocence forever lost

Passed the point of no return

Inner child forever dead

Blackened soul submerged to burn
