lyrics

A glimpse of light is passing us by
We've lost the trail and still we can't find the way back
I think it's unnecessary, cause here on earth we are temporary
There's always price we're not willing to pay
We're in the constant decay

I'm trapped in a twisted spiral that's filled with the recklessness
Unwanted horrible truth that corrupts our sanity
We're closed inside the shell that's filled with blood and dirt
Corroding skin that's as thick as the metal itself
Flip the coin, take your time, leave your dreams behind
What's the purpose of life for the human kind?

The saltiness in my brain is reaching tips of my bones
Through everything that I've been I felt how I decomposed
At aftermath of creation we'll see our contribution
On which side will you be standing if time proves that you're really wrong?
You are kneeling to the tyrants who are selling you cheap drugs
All the money for rapture; all the lost souls convicted to eternal damnation

Sometimes I think that it's all for nothing
I may just exaggerate
Inside my tired heart there's stroke of sadness when I realize we all are rotten
It's me and you who will turn this world into a hell hole

Lose yourself in your stupid selfish ignorance
Arrogance is the only thing that fills your filthy flesh
Defilement rises; the ecologists made it clear
We're standing near the edge, the end is getting near

The fake illusion is fading
Our future children will reign the world we've wasted away
I know we'll choke with our own blood, cause we'd die for our aspirations

As I wake up I keep looking through the window
The world I see is so bitter and cruel
The only thing that remains in us precious is the fear of the unknown
I hope one day we will face the destruction, witnessing art that we painted so well
We're the kids that signed the pact with the devil, reaching hands to our dear god

I am the atrophy, the blue eyed traitor who sells the lives of families
I am a god among gods, the monster who will show misery to all

We try to fight, cause we're scared of the end, but there's no war if we don't have the enemy
We're fucking doomed, ready to hang
I think I'm better off dead than live the life of contempt

A glimpse of light is passing us by
We've lost the trail and still we can't find the way back
I think it's unnecessary, cause here on earth we are temporary
