On the brink of collapse This is the tragedy of existence Under a falling sky We are at last overcome The tempest of despair, Consuming every waking moment Dark clouds black out the sun, Resisting the coming dawn I'm following insanity Overwhelmed with the essence of decay One ending after the next, This destruction was our only option I was left to ponder The consciousness of misery For we cannot know what's ahead; We are the sentient dead And the tears that we cried Were not enough You were the reason I was sick inside And now we are no more I cannot unsee A figure in the darkness Lingers like the breath of death With no reprieve Encompassing as these hands close Upon my wretched soul In the cold it will expire Spiral deeper down than ever My mind; my prison waiting for me In the end all is forsaken Under the fire we die Ashes fall without a sound or second thought Under the fire we are no more (as ashes fall) Invisible to everyone Even in death we are nothing Even in death, nowhere to turn Our ashes fall
