1.
Nothingness 01:09
Lost out at sea, drowning A familiar tragedy, a dead end When life seems too cold to survive, I’ll take the small victories and then I’ll carry on Nothingness A cold prospect Nothing left? Except life itself
2.
Blind ambition bleeds Into feeble human beings This hollow promise seems The emptiest of dreams So where does value lie? The rat race, a lullaby? You’ll pay thousands when you die And it’ll cost your life just to survive Dirt Merchants, forever unclean Dirt Merchants, superfluous fiends
3.
Not just apathy, you're making things worse Pouring salt on the wounds, constructing the hearse Securing our fate as a pointless existence By giving up, by giving in, you fail to transcend this Faster, we run towards it Head first, we choose to ignore it
4.
Life Hack 02:14
The desperation for validation, identity is a frail construction Reinforcing the good old days, when what we need is their destruction Just because that’s the way it is, doesn’t mean it’s the way it should be Condemn yourself with ignorance, a platform for your fallacies It sickens me endlessly A morbid dependency The truth is you're weakened, and I don’t believe it, no human is that stupid You said it on record, and you know that you regret it, but we’ll never forget it
5.
Unholy Oath 01:07
Strike from the record the folklore once told The sheep and the lamb freeze to death in the cold A failed salvation, from the truth there’s no respite Swear the unholy oath to the bringer of light Foundation crumbled No grounds for believing The serpent is rising The prophets are fleeing The trumpets are sounding A death march, a swan song For ignorance, hatred And fear of the unknown Swear the unholy oath to the bringer of light
