lyrics

Bring forth all your sadness unto me
I will swallow your insanity
Take my hand for I am hope's defeat
Forged from despair; a new entity

Take me with you to the grave
I drink your tears for sustenance

Now see true misery
There is no more reason to continue the lies you have been told
I will destroy all false pretenses; in truth you will find strength
Use your clear eyes; rid yourself of your hope
Believe life is cruelty
The end draws near...

Salvation never was a possibility
Meaningless prayers whispered to deaf skies
A hymn to this world where all the righteous sigh
Unflinching, I gaze upon rivers of congealed hopes and dreams all crushed and rotting
This hellscape is the natural order of this world seen clearly

This gift I give to you
Consecrate my worldview
Peer out through my black eyes
Despise the illusion

Oh, the rapture denied, all faith dies
Epistemological contagion; disease of reason inside you
I, despair personified.
