reaper of death, sweep me off my feet

lay me to rest, an eternal sleep

carrion birds, devour the meat

the soul divides, and the blood will seep.

fathomless illusions

cold-hearted retribution

shatter my petty delusion

of natural resolution.

through

the cracks of the earth

and into a realm

where there's no rebirth.

this overbearing situation

this tawdry look at life

I can't remember the last time

I looked myself in the eyes.

harem of ignorance

global degrading radiance

catalyst of deprivance

empty of consequence.

now look me in the eyes

tell me I'm wrong

tell me they're lies.

this degeneration of man

should be no surprise.
