lyrics

I walk among the damned, alone,
choking on the air of deception.
The voice is calling. My long lost friend.
An abomination holds me near. How long will I suffer?
The hands on the clock stand still.
I fear the worst has yet to come.
Tear down my perceived adversity,
that I might satisfy my urges.
My eyes forced open - I witness harsh realities.
The beauty I've known is a facade.
My eyes scooped out - I no longer see beauty in simple things.
But I remember. I remember.
The sun. The stars. The ocean. For her
smile, I could move mountains.
Revered, like a God.
Justified in arrogance.
I sought after things of the world, blind to the things that mattered.
I often forget
but cannot ignore that
Everything lives. Everything dies.
There are no exceptions.
Neither will conquest and glory
triumph over the laws of impermanence.
But we can always die trying
There will come a time when mass
annihilation may be the only
way to save us from ourselves.
From ourselves
I'm powerless to resist - My extremities
move without autonomy
Your caustic lullaby proliferates throughout
my body like a disease.
The harmony - like a parasite that feeds on boredom
I feel you invading my dreams.
The trap is set. I showed you my soul.
Take a bow, and they applaud you -
Your lifeless marionette needs praise too.
Carry on the legacy.
Be the tool that I know you can be.
It's paramount that you understand what this means
to me. I would die without your adulation.
With you by my side, I hold the
fountain of life. The fountain of death.
We drink to invigorate, but
are not fulfilled.
Trumpets sound. The earth breaks.
Sky burns. The oceans flood.
Swarms kill. The dead rise.
What could I have done to prevent such cruelty?
When omens reveal prosperity and good fortune,
You cannot deny
revelations of tragedy.
I believed that I held the key
to my own destiny, until now.
Maybe I was never meant to live so long.
Maybe I was never meant to be.
We beckon the righteous
to carry out swift justice
against those who sought violence.
It will be repaid with blood
in the end.
My whole life spent seeking your love.
And now it burns - like rejection.It burns like infamy.
I know you're watching. Don't pity me.
And don't you dare look away.
