Slipping swiftly into the
deepening tide
of oblivion.
A way to forget
our past failures.
Settling into the abyss
of complacency,
this is the nectar of my salvation (salvation).
Now take back your lies
they've compromised.
Tour ideals
are a fleeting glimpse
of the lie you seek.
Chasing a hollow crown
with no end in sight.
There is more to this life.
Take your soul and find
a new path.
We have sacrificed ourselves
for no leaders.
Drinking deep the water
of the righteous,
the devil is in disguise
wearing a cross and robes.
In their arms I found salvation
bleeding me dry.
Deep into the darkness I sink
with no memory
of the tides of woe.
Pushing away the seeping light,
I'm left to resume my plight.
In their arms I found salvation
bleeding me dry.
Why can I not see
the dead in me (the dead in me).
Feel the weight
of the crown of thorns
pulling you down.
I watch as the world
is drowned by the sea
and all that is
is obsolete (obsolete).
Stare into the fire
on this final day.
Stare into the abyss
this final night.
And welcome your oblivion.
