---

Darkness engulfs my vision

Emptiness swells in my being

Life will soon wither and die

Nothing bloans in the frozen tundra

Only the glare of misfortune

Solitude is my friend to the end

As the thick gray clouds darken the sky

Tears of Blood

Heaving in utter misery

Happiness.....is no mystery

I fear not

Masochistic melancholy

Moribund.....treachery

I corrode as I live

I take as I give

My life means not a thing

Only misery I bring

Disgust for a dying world

Repulsed at mankind

I lie in the shallow grave

Which our fathers have dug for us

My eyes close and picture nothing

My thoughts are NOT with Christ

In a final moment of glory

My hatred of the cross doth flourish

Passing into the Netherworld

With a Bible BURNING at my side

In the throes of death I cannot deceive thyself

I will not repent nor regret

Why hasn't religion gone extinct yet?

I am cold to the religious lies

It's the church that I despise

Life bleeds from me

The brilliant death of harmony

Awaken...before you die

Will you repent before you

heave your last sigh?

Look deep within thee

Can you die.........honestly?

(repeat 2nd verse)
