I. The Downward Spiral

there's a pathway through a black mass
leading man into a world of misery
where shades of pain piercing the soul
and agony whispering for redemption

remain alone here for a while
and learn how to suffer insanity
this state of mind pulls the trigger
to leave the only one final question

to the core - enter the crimson door in the war - silence
never more bleeding - on the floor dying

down and down falling through the spiral
down and down again the downward spiral

[Instrumental]

down and down falling through the spiral
down and down again the downward (spiral)

to the core - enter
crimson door - silence
in the war - bleeding
never more - dying
on the floor

II. Empty

I'm dreaming here in a cellar
the stone is cold like my heart
I can't feel my shell of flesh
but my eyes are open wide

I look around without seeing
only feeling the walls around
and I'm finding the body
of my once and only life

Empty inside I feel the void
Empty inside - Empty

[Instrumental]

Empty inside I feel the void
Empty inside - Empty

[Solo]

III. The Downward Spiral (Reprise)

down and down falling through the spiral
down and down again the downward spiral

down and down falling through the spiral
down and down again the downward (spiral)
