“I had a dream which was not all a dream

The bright sun was extinguish’d

And the stars did wander darkling

In the eternal space, rayless and pathless

And the icy earth swung blind

And blackening in the moonless air”

[From "Darkness" - Lord Byron]

Everlasting night suck color out of our soul

Grip your claws around this barren land

Create shadows to make us look small, yeah

Like we’ve got something to live

Nation of maggots, ready to infest

Carrion stripped of flesh long ago

At least we have each other to devour

This is the point where all life is engulfed into nothing

And our timelines are curled into a circle

Pin a thousand needles in me

Peel my skin with lye

Cut me up with your rusty blade

I will not make a sound, oh

Like we’ve got something to live

Nation of maggots, ready to infest

Carrion stripped of flesh long ago

At least we have each other to devour

Like we’ve got something to live

Like we’ve got some place to go

Like we’ve got somewhere to turn

Like we’ve got something to live

I won’t speak another word

Mute the sounds of your world

My chapter is written, the end in ink

This book is now closed

Look but never see again

Evolve into something new

Lost without a light

We are chasing shadows

Haunted by our own sight

Suffocated in cradles

Gone without a trace

Cocooned and turned to dust

Thrown into abyss

I mark the zenith in aeons of terror, yeah
