Corridors Of Madness
I'm looking out over the water.
The cold water that fills the corridors to my knees. Feeling the cold in my bones.
Spider cracks spread along the walls around me. A terrible nightmare growing around me.
A lone tear trails down my cheek, I never felt so alone.
Looking down I'm starting to see my reflection.
Through the cracks in the ceiling a whisper of light in the water comes down from the sky.
It disrupts the stare at my reflection. Realizing that the dark water called me, pulling me in down where the old spirits lie.
Through the widening cracks I look at the moon as it flickers.
Through the waves like a lost memory.
I break away my gaze and look back at the dark water. I'm losing control as the spirits are laughing.
Singing their dark harmony. In the distance I hear their lord and master laugh.
They try everything to destroy me. The dark waters are starting to turn eerie red.
They're drawing me into the game. A game the fox can't lose.
Question or answer, will I live or die.
While he's convincing me I am insane.
I take another look around and realize these are the corridors of madness.
They go on and on and on.
Pulsating they seem to say they want to take me home.
The spirits are back. They live in the world under water.
Maybe we all end up this way.
But I'm still alive and I'm frightened to death.
Will they pull me under? Suffocate me, drown me? The fear of this watery grave grips my heart.
I'm reaching out into the silence.
I fall to my knees begging for help to appear.
The whisper of light that was there in the sky falls on my tear streaked face.
It's pulling me into the clear.
Away from the corridors of madness.
Even though they go on and on and on.
While they say they want to take me home.
Drenched in sweat I wake up, hyperventilating. I never want to go back there again. So don't look out over the water I try to reassure myself.
Because you never know what you will find.
I think back to how close I was to losing myself and realize you could be saved or you could be lost in those corridors.
You may even go out of your mind.
I can't forget how close I came to switching with my reflection. So I tell myself: So now when you see your reflection, as spirits are tempting you in.
When they are calling your name like a lamb to the slaughter and fearing the pendulum swing. You will not give in.
Thinking back to those corridors of madness.
When they go on and on and on.
While they say they want to take me home.
I never want to go back to those corridors of madness.
Especially now they seem to go on and on and on.
Even though they say they want to take me home.
I'll never go back to that fox and his spirits. Resolve reinforced to inhuman levels Naruto resolutely sets himself on the path to the academy.

This is a rewrite of the lyrics of 'Corridors of Madness' by Uriah Heep. The lyrics have literally been copied and used in the text. Or I should say that the text has been written to fit the lyrics into this format. This was a experiment and took roughly a quarter of an hour to write. Keep in mind that around 300 of those 553 words are not my own and have simply be copied.
The sentence structure might be awkward at times, remember they are lyrics though. As such I almost labeled this poetry and still I'm entirely not sure if it is labeled correctly.
Thanks for reading.
