Forbidden Place from Digest Self by Familiars

Forbidden Place
I came to enter
Forbidden Place
I cannot go

I took it as a challenge
to enter the palace
where the emerald fires burn
where entrance is forbidden
and sacred treasure is hidden
I left and now I'll never return from this

Forbidden Place
I came to enter
Forbidden Place
I cannot go

I scaled the onyx walls
into the ancient marble halls
where the dryads eat their feast
then invited me to dine
and I drank the lotus wine
my lips were stained
I cannot leave from this

Forbidden Place
I came to enter
Forbidden Place
I cannot go

I was just mistaken
I am always undertaking something
bigger than my body can possibly withstand
I was just mistaken
now I've been overtaken
I am bound to the banquet at the Emerald King's command in this

Forbidden Place
I came to enter
Forbidden Place
I cannot go

I eat forever hungry
the satyrs sing and dance around me
but I am willing
and I'm able
to stand and walk away from this table

Forbidden Place
I came to endure
Forbidden Place
I need to go
right now
