[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, uh
First Circle
Yo, hop in, let's take a ride
I got you, I got you
[Verse 1]
Born too soon or born too late, this fate feels contrived
Stuck in the Limbo, where’s the guide? Can’t hide from these vibes
No baptism took my soul, left it hollow, I roam
A nomad in this wasteland, never knowing my home
Ahead a chorus of sorrow, echoes rise like shadows
With the weight of holy water, find my thirst in shallows
Spirits never touched by the crucifix, crucified in bliss
Living in the spectral mist, we exist but we missed
That key to heaven’s gate, that serenade, we contemplate
Infinite debates—about faith, fate, and heaven’s state
Unbaptized but never vile, live in this in-between aisle
In this eternal pretrial, endless time to compile our memoirs
Man, I'm parched, drenched in dreams, reality's farce
Can’t restart, just depart, take a role in this dark
No light, just the shadow of might, in endless twilight
It's a plight, amidst the night, searching for that unseen sight
[Chorus]
Limbo, Limbo, lost and found in Limbo
Eternal waiting room, nowhere else to go
Limbo, Limbo, where the shadows flow
Existential echo, where the lost souls blow
[Verse 2]
Verses versus curses, contemplate purposes in this surplus
Of sorrow—swallowed whole, every goal seems nervous
No Lord’s blessing, stressing, living in this decade-long lesson
No Confession, mere suggestion, no divine intervention
Just dimension-less tension, hanging on forgiveness suspension
A place, no holy grail to chase, reminiscent of grace
Face to face with fate’s gate, can't escape this state
Lost in the debate, whether this is punishment or quite great
Staring in the mirror of forever, what’s my endeavor?
Rivers of time never sever, but quench? They never
Memories unravel, gravel in the shoes of every traveler
Paddle through this mist, every dream remains a scandal
Anxious and wishful, a wistful penmanship in limbo central
Scripted like a stencil, with no words, no credentials
Existential, instrumental; written in this mental stencil
Mental circumstantial, without a heart, turns infernal
Man, I'm marginal, look at the eternal tribunal
Waiting for the final arrival in this cold, damp recital
[Chorus]
Limbo, Limbo, lost and found in Limbo
Eternal waiting room, nowhere else to go
Limbo, Limbo, where the shadows flow
Existential echo, where the lost souls blow
[Outro]
Yeah… Limbo
Lost and found, yeah
Nowhere else to go...
