the darkness conceals all that was before

the dirt that coats the teeth

oil for the machine

bones ground to dust

the agonising groan of a dying man

becomes the new hymn for fruitless prayer

the red in the sky is wrung dry

like the flicker in your eyes

und ich bin qual

life leaves us all

the end is always inevitable

and tastes like sweet defeat

a misery born from the ruins of yesterday's failures

lays beneath our feet

it's all i am

all i'll ever be

flesh, blood and bone

the poison that i breathe

nothing more, nothing at all

where do we go from here?

six feet under the earth we reap
