Abandon hope And I shall become free And with freedom acquire emptiness With the mind cleansed and empty There is the void known as despair A gateway upon an emptiness endless and vast In despair the language of the shadows is intelligible In madness all sounds become articulate Terror and despair they guide me Into nightmares that follow one upon the other Like windblown grains of sand (Solo: Dallas) I have become as the wastelands Of unending nothingness Now shall the night things Fill me with their whisperings And the shadows reveal their wisdom (Solo: Karl)
