Enigma - The Story Of 'Agnus Dei'

You've crossed the threshold. You're walking through a hallway
Mirrored walls and mirrored ceilings. There are those voices again
Whispering in your head. As you watch your reflections in a hundred
Mirrors, fear tells you: "Turn around. This is a maze with no way
Out." But persuasion whispers: "Go on. Go up those stairs into the
Inner sanctum." Above the doorway, a familiar writing: "All hope
Abandon, ye who enter here." Compliantly, you check your hope at the
Cloakroom. You are approached by a clown. Funny smile painted on a
Mournful face. He's offering consolation. You're not interested, and
This upsets him. As you move on, you hear him yell, "Goddamned agnus
Dei!" Never mind. Walk down the corridor. As you pass a hundred
Doors, you hear wheezing and groaning. Cries of pleasure from within
You smell the scent of sin and naked skin. Ah, that insatiable hunger
For love. Have you ever known happiness? There's a memory you cling
To. It makes you surrender. But the lips you kiss are cold. The eyes
You read tell lies. There's just one breath of air between Heaven and
Hell. Lesson learnt. Lesson ignored. You've been deceived. Story of
Your life. You hate your reflection. You break the mirror. You walk
Through the broken glass, and you're out on the street. Over
There's a church. A cathedral, rather. Seems the right place
To go to. Stone statues guard the portal. Voices in the air
Redemption is drawing near. The door's locked. Never fight
Curiosity. So you knock and rattle, waking up the statues. They
Actually start to move. Whining. Wailing. They reach out for you
Just before they can grab you, the portal breaks open. Red smoke
From the inside billows over the floor. Curiosity's got a mind
Of its own. You take the plunge into the dark. A bell rings
