Praise the Loss Lyrics


Strophe I:

My body now feels different

Has this single wish come true?

Is the emptiness a dead end?

Or just a new found point of view?

I was a slave to the bloody apparatus

That humans call a proof of life

But I don't need this fucking offal

No more failure to thrive

Prechorus:

I thought I'd die for love

Now love is dead to me

(For too long I've been)

Chorus:

Nailed to the cross

Of my now defunct existence

I praise the loss

Of the ability to cherish or to care

Strophe II:

From now on I am empty

And I've never felt this fulfilled

Every weak spot that I ever had

Now finally has been killed

From now on I am empty

And this is what makes me complete

The hollowness inside my heart

Is everything I need

Bridge:

At this point there's nothing that I can't achieve

For the burden of life which is love is no more

One thing I know

Life's a whore

Pay the price and receive what you crave

Pay! Pay the price!

Receive! Whatever you crave!

Leads: Schafberger/Kötterl/Haimerl

Chorus:

For too long I have been nailed to the cross

Of my now defunct existence

I praise the loss

Of the ability to cherish or to care

Spoken Word I:

Whoever says you need closeness or affection to survive should think again

I rid myself from this desire and therefore I am invincible

Choir I:

Void life impending, it's the high road to tuin

Spoken Word II:

Love always leads to pain

There are no exceptions

I will forever be the master of my own destiny

And there is nothing and noone with the power to stand in my way

Not even you my dear....

Choir II:

Vain time unending, it is your road to ruin

Dead life impending, this is your road to ruin
