Life is a play
With no rehearsal
Once in the grave
There is no reversal
Embrace the rot
Entropy's kiss
Sweet smell of decay
All for naught
Awake in the darkness
Awake with the knowledge
That we are foul
Awake in the madness
Awake with the hope
That we have worth
As we crawl towards the end we know will come
Through the mud
We reach the Other
A rising flood
Cascading shudder
Righteous scorn
Lawless fray
Sightless decent
Timeless regret
Awake in the darkness
Awake with the knowledge
That we are foul
Awake in the madness
Awake with the hope
That we have worth
As we crawl towards the end we know will come
Hopeless
Helpless
Heartless
Lightless
