Dum, dum,

it has begun,

summoned again,

by the dire,

dreary drumbeat

that draws and

drags me

down to the,

deadlands,

dum, dum, dum,

thrown into that,

gloomy place,

where no light,

ever shone,

dum, dum, dum

all around cries of despair,

and despondent groans,

in this place,

so bleak,

when all,

hope has gone.
